Run The Cape

Route

Where the wine trails takes you…

DAY 1

DISTANCE: 7KM | ELEVATION 233M

Arrive at De Stilte Farmstay, a luxury tented escape in the Tulbagh Valley, where registration and a light lunch await. Then lace up for a fun 7km trail featuring manicured single-track and scenic jeep-track sections. The route heads out the farm gate, crossing the Boonjtiesrivier before winding through wheat fields and climbing gently toward sweeping views. A pine forest section and the Valley View switchbacks add a touch of adventure — and yes, bubbly at the top is your reward! Enjoy a fast-flowing single track back through the woods to the event village, finishing your run on a high note.

DAY 2

19KM | CLIMBING 680M
CHICKEN RUN OF 9KM AVAILABLE

Today, we will be traversing the Witzenberg Mountain range. The run starts with a steep kicker out of the camp. Turn left towards the Witzenberg Game Park. Keep an eye out for Zebras, Springbuck and more as you head onto a downhill section, but don’t be fooled, it quickly transitions into a gradual climb towards waterpoint 1 at 6.5km. From here the real climb start or as we like to call it, the Klein Witzenberg. Remember life’s a climb, but the view is always worth it! Enjoy a downhill with Tulbagh valley as backdrop, as you make your way to waterpoint 2 at 11km at the lovely Driefonteine Wine Farm. Enjoy a quick taste of one of their wines. Make your way to the 3rd waterpoint at 14.5km. Take in the stunning scenery as you head to Noah Farm and your 4th waterpoint at 17km. Enjoy the last 2km of beautiful trails as you complete your 19km run! - Chicken run of 11km If the legs just aren’t firing up when reaching the first water point, first water point, fuel up and take the detour which will skip water points 2 & 3 but it will take you to join in at waterpoint 4. The “Chicken Run” is there if you really feel like you won’t make the 19km but we do encourage everyone to complete the full run as the views and Driefonteine Wine Estate at waterpoint 2 really adds a special reminiscence to your weekend.
