Red Barn Trial Run/Walk - 6 December 2026

On December 6, 2026, runners of all levels are invited to explore the scenic trails at The Big Red Barn Trails near Olifantsfontein for an unforgettable race experience. Participants can choose from distances ranging from a fun and family-friendly 2km walk to challenging routes like the 15km and 21km loops. Registration opens early with doors opening at 06:00, allowing runners ample time to warm up before the official start times between 06:30 and 07:30.
The event takes place in a pet-friendly environment where both humans and their furry companions can enjoy the day together. Runners will appreciate well-marked routes with water tables along each distance, ensuring hydration throughout the course. The 15km route combines sections of the 10km and 5km trails due to current conditions near the riverbank, while the 21km loop offers runners a chance to experience multiple loops of the scenic 10km trail.
The atmosphere at The Big Red Barn Trails is lively with the Red Barn Restaurant open for food and drink options. Runners can also park their cars nearby without worrying about additional fees. A highlight of this event is the opportunity to contribute to the Make a Difference Campaign by donating your finisher medal or adding extra donations directly into campaign boxes, supporting animal shelters in need.
With no license required and various payment methods accepted on race day including cash, card, and Snapscan, runners can focus solely on their performance. This inclusive event aims to cater to all participants while promoting community spirit through its unique features and scenic setting.
