GEORGE BUSINESS NEWS - Anticipation mounts as we approach the Oakhurst Insurance EdenXperience, the formidable family festival hosted by Glenwood House School on 7 and 8 September. The annual fundraiser is set to attract over 10 000 people with its wide range of fun-filled events to keep the entire family involved.
At 17:00 on Friday evening the flagship event, the "George Herald Run with the Stars" night run, will commence. This stunning 10km route through Loerie Park and Eden neighbourhoods is not to be missed. If the 10km is a little overwhelming for you, there will also be a 3km fun run/walk offering loads of prizes to those dressed to the theme "Space Race".

Get to Glenwood House School bright and early on Saturday morning for the Sportsman's Warehouse Trail Run at 08:00.

This year sees the addition of a local tourism expo on the Saturday afternoon. The expo aims to share some of the wonders that the beautiful paradise of the Garden Route has to offer. Glenwood House School is grateful to our two main sponsors, Oakhurst Insurance and George Herald, and the extensive support they provide to make this event possible. In recognition of their roles in the success of the EdenXperience, a portion of all proceeds is handed to Oakhurst Insurance and George Herald in support of their many charity causes.
The festival also supports Glenwood House School's efforts to diminish our carbon footprint, by reducing, reusing and recycling waste wherever possible.
