TRAILFUN – FREE DAY TRAIL RUN 2026

Date : Monday 27 April 2026
Venue: DVredenheim Wine Estate,  Stellenbosch

Freedom means different things to different people.

For some, it’s pushing the pace.
For others, it’s slowing down.
For many, it’s simply showing up without pressure.

The TrailFun Freedom Day Run is a public holiday trail run designed to give you space — to move, to breathe, and to choose how your day unfolds.

Routes are clearly marked, walk-friendly, and broken into manageable sections. Whether you run the whole way, mix running and walking, or take it easy with friends, this is your run to shape.

There’s no expectation to perform.
No one to keep up with.
Just trails, movement, and a morning well spent.
