Neethlingshof has the most amazing 5 km and 10 km routes – through forests, vines – it’s everything you could want in a trail run.
The 5 km is a beautiful entry level run. It’s an easy start through the vines and you finish by crossing the dam and running through the forest on the bank.
The 10 km is a bit more challenging with an awesome forest section coming out at the top of the farm then downhill to the finish.
The Holiday series is sponsored by our new partner – THE Socks . Each event will have a free pair of custom socks for you to collect (socks match the medal).
If you have never run in real mohair socks you are in for a treat . The shape of the natural fiber gives it a smoother finish, meaning it is naturally anti-blistering. It has resilient cushioning, is thermal regulating, moisture wicking and anti-microbial.
THE Socks make the best ultra distance socks we have seen, which is why we partnered with them so you can feel more comfortable and stylish on your run. Your feet will thank you and your pocket will thank you (these socks retail at R150 per pair).
