Pineapple Express Trail Run 2027

The Pineapple Express Trail Run returns on July 3, 2027, bringing with it an exhilarating blend of adventure and natural beauty along the South Coast. Participants can choose from three thrilling distances: the rugged Waver Warrior (30km), the dynamic Tide-Breaker (21km), or the scenic Coastal Cruz (12km). Each route offers a unique journey through wild terrain, rocky points, flowing rivers, and stunning beach sections, all set against the backdrop of South Africa's breathtaking coastline.
Race day starts early with runners gathering at Ramsgate Beach for the Waver Warrior, Trafalgar Beach for the Tide-Breaker, and Glenmore Beach for the Coastal Cruz. The courses wind through diverse landscapes, from sandy beaches to lush trails that challenge both body and spirit. As you navigate the formidable South Coast tides, each step brings a new adventure and breathtaking views.
The event is more than just a race; it’s an immersive experience with fantastic partnerships including Wild Coast Sun, South Coast Tourism, NSRI, and Rotary Club of Port Edward. Race participants can enjoy great accommodation deals at the official partner hotel, Wild Coast Sun, where they will also find vibrant prize-giving celebrations right in front of Spur/Wild Waves.
