The ATC Development boys had a great start to the Spur Cape Summer Trail Series in the Tygerberg Nature Reserve when Dawood Goeiman won the Junior category (2nd overall), Daniel Arendse won the Minimee category and Bruzano Britz followed in 2nd.
Over the holidays Andrew Le Roux sneaked in a win at the Sabrina 10 Km Trail run Plettenberg Bay.
