The Hoërskool Swellendam is hosting its first official Trail Run on 7 June 2025, and everyone is welcome! Whether you’re a keen trail runner or just looking for a fun morning outdoors, there’s something for you:

20 km – A beautiful route winding through the forest’s single tracks, with a scenic loop past the dam.

11 km – A slightly shorter run but still packed with great trails and forest paths.

5 km Fun Run – A relaxed, mostly flat route around the showgrounds and school sports fields, great for families and casual runners.

There will be two water points on the 20 km and 11 km routes, and thanks to Spar and BVSA, every runner will feel at home. The Swellendam Boxing Gym makes sure runners don’t neglect their strength training, for better running performance. A big thank you to our other sponsors Warwick Wealth, Tracy Olivier, Oaktree Transport, and Midas for supporting the event.

Come join in, enjoy the trails, and be part of the fun! First 50 entries for the 11km receive a free branded water bottle, and the first 100 entries for the 20km receive a pair of limited socks free.

All receive a 50% discount on 10 drop-in classes at the Swellendam Boxing Gym. Register online: https://www.entryninja.com/events/81172-trail-run-110-years-festival
