Nature's Valley Multi-Sport Event | 2026

The NVT Multi-Sport Event is a beloved annual family-friendly race in Nature’s Valley, created to raise funds for the Nature’s Valley Trust (NVT) and its essential conservancy work. What began as a small community initiative has grown into a competitive and much-anticipated event enjoyed by locals and visiting athletes alike.

This unique event blends natural beauty with athletic challenge, offering two accessible multi-sport courses that finish with an iconic beach run — all while directly supporting environmental protection in one of South Africa’s most treasured coastal ecosystems.
