What to expect...
Montagu’s biggest trail festival!
Hailed as the biggest trail running event hosted in the heart of Montagu, this festival is designed for the whole family.
It's a jam-packed weekend of gorgeous views and beautiful fast flowing single-track with bolt-on trail-based activities for everyone.
Travelling with the Fam ?
With your children safely entrusted to our minders at De Bos, our adventure village hosts for the weekend, you can run carefree.
Kicking off with a fun 5km “Beat the Tuk-Tuk” night run on Friday evening it's the perfect prologue to Saturday and Sunday's main events! Enjoy a sponsored wine-tasting and a delicious selection of craft beer right at the finish line. When the hunger bug bites, meander up into the town to enjoy scrumptious food and great local vibes.
Races, rock climbing and really hot Springs
If the gorgeous runs aren't enough activity, sign yourself and your family up for an incredible rock climbing experience with Dave Webster, or grab your discounted day pass to the magnificent Avalon Springs - the 43 degree waters will soothe any tired legs!
