A Sydney-based team of riders, featuring a former Kaitangata
local, will take part in this month's Black Gold Trail event
around the coal-mining township.
Kaitangata born and bred Jaren Blackie, a personal trainer in
the New South Wales capital, will return home to South Otago
with some of his clients for the event that includes a
mountain-biking leg, a half marathon and a duathlon.
The team is due to arrive on Wednesday.
On Saturday, November 14, the event's competitors will tour
through the area's bush trails and forestry roads before
contestants travel along the Kaitangata hills down to the
Matau mouth of the Clutha River.
The event includes a full-course bike ride of 45km and a
short-course event of 20km, plus a 20km cross-country run.
