Red Barn Trial Run/Walk - 3 January 2027

On January 3, 2027, runners of all ages are invited to explore The Big Red Barn Trails in Olifantsfontein for an unforgettable race experience. Located at 7 Nelson Drive, Sunlawns AH, the venue offers scenic paths through beautiful landscapes and a welcoming atmosphere that caters to both serious racers and casual walkers.
Registration begins early with doors opening at 06:00 AM, allowing participants time to stretch before the start of races ranging from a fun 2km walk up to a challenging 21km loop. The race day itself is pet-friendly, encouraging runners to bring their furry friends along for an extra dose of companionship and joy.
The event features water tables at strategic points throughout each course to ensure hydration during your run or hike. Participants can also enjoy the Red Barn Restaurant's offerings before or after the race, with food and drinks available on-site. For those who choose to donate their finisher medal to the Make a Difference Campaign, every cent will go toward aiding animal shelters in need.
With parking provided at no extra cost, runners have ample space for gear preparation and post-race celebrations under the warm South African sun. The event is designed with flexibility in mind; while 15km and 21km distances require group starts, participants can register and begin their run anytime between 06:30 AM and 07:30 AM.
Join us for a day filled with scenic trails, friendly competition, and the chance to make a positive impact on animal welfare in your community.
