Rotary’s Greatest Train Race 2025 – 9 August

Countdown to Rotary’s Greatest Train Race – 9 August in Middelburg

Each year, excitement builds in Mpumalanga as one of South Africa’s most iconic charity sporting events rolls into town — Rotary’s Greatest Train Race. Set to take place on 9 August 2025, this unique race offers more than just athletic competition; it’s a celebration of community, fitness, and heritage. Whether you're running, cycling, or simply soaking in the energy, there’s no better place to stay during the event than 3 Lux Suites Middelburg.
