In our household, it is no hidden fact that our dogs call the shots. Between our geriatric and beloved Jack Russell, Daisy(because every Jack Russell’s name is either Daisy or Spot), and Razcal(our rambunctious rescue from TEARS), our days are either filled with joy or zoomies. Luckily, our dogs have blessed our lives in ways that we chose them. And, for some, a dog is a necessity!
The Steenberg Trail Run will be taking place this year in close aid to the SA Guide-Dogs Association, which is an admirably adept NPO. Having no qualification to judge whatsoever, I humbly ascertain that dogs are far more needed by humans than we think. A dog is more than just a pet – dogs are companions, decompression buddies, support systems, and often times, our forms of lighthearted entertainment! So, I see no reason as to why there won’t be a joyful event at Steenberg’s Trail Run on Saturday, 26th of March.
Join the end of harvest celebrations on the Steenberg Trail Run and wine your way through autumnal Constantia vineyards. Whether you stroll the 5km or 10km, merely participating is great.
With prizes galore for the winners, lucky draws and best dressed, be sure to get creative with your festive harvest attire. You will be rewarded with cuddles from guide dogs in training and a glass of vibrant Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc at the finish.
Delicious breakfast treats and piping hot coffee will be available for purchase before the start and during the course of the morning from food and coffee trucks. If you prefer a more formal sit down breakfast, reserve your table ahead of time at Bistro Sixteen82.
Tickets are priced at R215 per person with free entry for children under the age of 12. The 10km trail run kicks off at 07h00 followed by the 5km course at 07h15. Water and wine refreshment stations will be available en route.

Pre-race registration takes place at the Steenberg Tasting Room from 15h00 – 18h00 on Thursday, 24 and Friday, 25 March.
