MONTAGU TRAILS
#1 in the Montagu Winter Trail Run Series
The very first event in the MONTAGU WINTER TRAIL RUN SERIES kicks off in Montagu at the local trails. These trails have been “handmade” over the last 5 years by Chris Burkin and his team for cycling, running and hiking. It showcases the town from the koppie behind the hospital.

5 km Fun Run | 131 m ascent
The Montagu Trails 4,8km Fun Run route is an easy, non- technical, single track which is run mainly through a shady Blue Gum Tree forest with a slight incline loop and comes out through a piece of Apron veld with a nice view of the town until the finish.
10.6 km Trail Run | 285 m ascent
The first 4km of the 10,6km route is the same as the Fun Run and extend along the foothills of the Langeberg mountains with a further incline(elevation gain). A little bit more challenging then the fun run but not too technical (moderate). Zigzag down hills. Awesome views of the town and beautiful rock formations are evident.
Prizes for first three places in the Trail Run event.
13.8 km Trail Run | 359 m ascent
The first 10 km’s of this route is the same as the Trail Run and extend along the foothills of the Langeberg mountains with a further incline traversing Bessiekop. A little bit more challenging then the fun and 10km trail run but not too technical (moderate). Zigzag down hills. Awesome views of the town and beautiful rock formations are evident.
