Blouklip Trail Run at Waterford Estate

You might have driven down Blaauwklippen Road on your way to one of the fantastic wineries in this valley, but have you ever dreamed of running along the Blouklip River, up towards the Helderberg Mountain, and across Stellenbosch Mountain, passing these beautiful wineries along the way? Each year we grow the event and improve where we can, and we are especially excited about this year’s enhanced routes. The 21 km and 42 km distances will head to the neck at Lourensford, offering spectacular views of the Helderberg Dome and Suurberg. Starting at Waterford Estate, you’ll pass a great number of indigenous trees endorsed by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as part of ongoing efforts to sustain the farm’s ecosystem. The 21 km route will lead you to the foot of the Dome, the Driekoppen peaks, and the stunning trails at De Trafford Wines. A unique single track - once the winemaker’s regular walking path to the mountain - will guide you to their cellar. At Keermont, you’ll run past vineyards and along the river beneath a canopy of trees, with a beautiful old bridge along the route transporting you back in time. Purchase tickets on entryninja.com
