Upcoming Events 2025
Ebenezer Mile 15 March 2025
Find your entry form HERE
The inaugural Ebenezer Mile took place in 1992 and in 2025 the event celebrates its 33d anniversary.
The first race attracted 60 swimmers and by 2004 it had grown to over 700 participants and 2,000 spectators. It mainly draws participants from the surrounding area, although many have found the secret charm of this swim and travel from much further afield. The Ebenezer Dam, with its clean unpolluted water and its breathtakingly beautiful surroundings, could arguably rank the Eb Mile as South Africa's most spectacular swim.
For those swimmers who would like to make a full weekend of activity, the local Stanford Lake College will be holding their annual "Wik Triathlon" on the Sunday 16th March. Online registration for this will be open in January 2025.

The Return of Amy!!
Past President of Haenertsburg Club (2012-2022) Amy Taylor-Bennett relocated to
Durban in 2021 but continued to be involved in Rotary there while still keeping tabs on what was happening with the Haenertsburg Club. She has now returned to live 'on the Mountain', taking up the post of Head of English at Stanford Lake College. We are so pleased to have her back, and to mark the occasion, she was welcomed into the Club once more at a function held at the Pot 'n Plow on Wednesday 30 October 2024. Seen here with Past President Keith Patrick (who was standing in for current President Betty Ramaselela) to make it all official!
