WOMEN’S TRAIL RUN 17 AUGUST 2025 ELGIN GRABOUW COUNTRY CLUB 

The Women’s Trail Run is a women’s trail run in women’s month taking place in the famous Elgin Grabouw valley that is known for its orchards, vineyards and undulating countryside. You are in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom with the Kogelberg and Groenland Mountains creating an amphitheatre that embraces the experience in nature for which your travel-heart is longing.

 Venue

Our host is the amazing Elgin Grabouw Country Club. The Elgin Grabouw Country Club boasts breathtaking and spectacular views of the surrounding Hottentots Holland, Nuweberg and Groenland mountains. The drive from Cape Town or Worcester takes approximately 60 minutes whilst the trip from Somerset West, Gordon’s Bay and Hermanus will take approximately 35 minutes.

A combination of the Elgin Valley and Grabouw Forest Trails with breathtaking views the Eikenhof dam and surrounding apple farms. Why not end off with a refreshing dip in the Eikenhof dam.

Exclusive Accommodation Special:

Trail’s End Bike Hotel is offering 15% discount for the Saturday night before the race for everyone that can prove your entry. Why stay only 1 night? Bring the family and make it a weekend.

What about the men?

This is a women’s only trail run BUT… after some enthusiastic requests from the guys, we’ve decided to open entries to men who are willing to run in support of women and dress the part! Wigs, tutus, dresses, pink socks… whatever makes you feel fabulous and festive.

The men won’t be eligible for podium prizes, but will still be entered into the lucky draw!

Late Entries:

Late entries allowed on race day but we cannot promise that we will have enough goodie bags. So rather enter early and avoid disappointment!

Note: Unpaid entries will automatically be deleted after 2 days. Don’t delay.
