Anna Basson Properties Trail Run

by Carmen Van Wyk | Local News, Events

The popular Anna Basson Properties Trail Run is back. Pencil in Saturday 4 November on your calenders and be sure to enter as it will be the only one organised for this year.

The trail run will be held at the beautiful but challenging Mont Marie Wine Estate, so be there bright and early at 7:00 because the race starts at 8:30am.

Runners will be rewarded with lots of single track and some stunning views of the Blaauwklippen Valley. The route will start off through the vineyards, followed by a fast flat section towards the Eden Forest. Here the boys will be separated from the men, with the first real climb of the route through the pine forest.

Once at the top, a very short downhill awaits, where after runners will turn back into the mountain to enjoy open fynbos single track flowing into the 2km downhill run to the finish line.
