Copperleaf XMAS Night Run/Walk - 9 December 2026

The Copperleaf Golf and Country Estate hosts an evening run on December 9, 2026, offering runners three distances: a challenging 10km route, a scenic 5km loop, and a family-friendly 2km course. Entry fees are R130 for the 10km race, R110 for the 5km event, and R80 for both the 2km run and kids under 13 or adults over 60 years old.
Race day registration begins at 5:00 PM with a start time of 6:00 PM. The course winds through Copperleaf's lush golf courses, requiring participants to adhere strictly to the race schedule as it must accommodate ongoing play by golfers. Walkers are welcome but must complete their distance before the cut-off at 8:00 PM.
Non-residents can park in front of the main building and should bring along a driver’s license or ID for access control. Online entrants will receive an email with an entry code after Wednesday afternoon, which is essential to gain entrance into the estate on race day.
The course features water stations at regular intervals throughout all distances, ensuring runners stay hydrated during their run. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are awarded a well-deserved medal and can opt to contribute by placing it in the Make A Difference Campaign donation box or keeping it as a memento of their achievement.
Post-race refreshments will be available at the estate's restaurant for those looking to refuel after their run. The event is pet-friendly, but dogs must remain on leashes throughout the race.
This evening’s run offers both runners and spectators an engaging experience within Copperleaf's serene setting under the stars.
