Thinking about signing up for the Summer Trail Series? ๐Ÿค”

5KM: 'Oh, a nice little jog in nature! I can totally do this while still looking cute for my Insta Story!' ๐Ÿž๏ธ๐Ÿคณ

14KM: 'Okay, this is getting real. Pretty sure I just saw a unicorn, or maybe it was just dehydration. Send snacks!' ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’ง

21KM (Half Marathon): 'My legs have officially filed for divorce from my body. But hey, at least the views are amazing... right? Right?!' ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒ„

No matter your distance, prepare for stunning trails, questionable life choices, and the best post-run high! Who's joining the fun (and probably the pain)? Sign up now! ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Trail-runners of the Eastern Cape, gear up!

Hereโ€™s your 2025/26 sneak-peek of epic trail races between now and April:

โ€ข 23 Nov โ€™25 โ€“ Summer Trail Series Round 1 @ 3rivers (Crossways) โ€“ 5-14-21 km of โ€œOops, did I sign up for that?โ€ fun.

โ€ข 30 Nov โ€™25 โ€“ Tavcor Trail Run @ Tavcor Volkswagen, Baakens Valley โ€“ 5-12-17 km; kids under 13 only R50. Dogs welcome (they finally get a job).

โ€ข 6 Dec โ€™25 โ€“ RHBC Booze Run @ Richmond Hill Brewing Company โ€“ 6 km + 8 Booze Points. Run for the beer, stay for the scenery, end up not sure which came first.

โ€ข 17-21 Dec โ€™25 โ€“ LoFER (Longmore Forest Endurance Run) @ Longmore Forestry Station โ€“ choose your endurance: 7-18-30-50 km or mega 50-mile/100-mile/200-mile. Pick wisely (or pick nothing and cheer from the sidelines).

โ€ข 1 Feb โ€™26 โ€“ Astron Energy Trail @ Fat Tracks โ€œGreen Containerโ€ โ€“ sharpen those legs post-festiveโ€season.

โ€ข 14-15 Mar โ€™26 โ€“ Die Pofadder Trail Run @ Grass Roof, Lovemore Park โ€“ night race + day race = double the terrain, double the fun.

โ€ข 12 Apr โ€™26 โ€“ ECM Woodridge Trail Run @ Woodridge College, Van Stadens Pass โ€“ finish the cycle strong, and maybe remember the feeling of upright walking.

๐ŸŽ’ Pro-tips:
โ€ข Book early before your future self regrets it.
โ€ข Fit-check your shoes. The trails donโ€™t care about your excuses.
โ€ข For the Booze Run: bring your sense of humour and maybe a water bottle too.
โ€ข For LoFER: prepare for serious terrain, snacks that arenโ€™t just chips, and lots of โ€œwhy did I do thisโ€ moments.

Lace up, show up, have a blast. See you on the trail. ๐Ÿฅพ๐ŸŒฒ
