On the 18th of February 2024 we will host our 2nd event of the Run The Vines Trail Run Series 2024 presented by First Ascent at the spectacular Delheim Wines.

Delheim is situated just outside Stellenbosch on the foothills of the Simonsberg mountain.

This will be the 1st Run The Vines event that will be hosted at Delheim. We are excited about the future at this amazing farm. We are currently busy with brand new permanent trails that will be available for hikes and trail running. 

This year we will also be celebrating the start of our 10-year celebrations in March.  We are also proud to announce that First Ascent is now the main sponsor of our events. Other sponsors like 32Gi, Manzi Water Paarl, Peninsula Beverages and Echo Friend Rentals are again committed to 2024.

Run The Vines is a Trail Run series for the whole family. Young and old can enter and it is suitable for all fitness levels. Walkers are welcome on the 3km, 5km and 10km distances. Please do not walk the 17km distance.
