Vredenheim is not a new farm anymore and they still have a lot for you to see.
The 5 km route at Vredenheim is easy and relatively flat. There is one short uphill section. The 10km route is more challenging with some hills on a fast route (if you are racing). Moms and Dads will be able to do this with a large wheel pram.
There is a large “cat” farm at Vredenheim. 3 x tigers, 8 x lions and 2 x leopards. These cats are rescues. NO DOGS AT THIS RUN. These cats are family sized. Your dog is snack sized. Take a moment to visit the kitties. They are 100m from the Start / Finish point.
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).
We are considering partnering with PURA and providing runners with their exceptional Hydration drink.
Look – we know you are fussy when it comes to what you put in your body, that is why we chose PURA.
PURA HYDRATION is see-through, it looks like water. Why ? Because they don’t add artificial colours to brighten it up, in fact, they don’t add any colour at all. This is a pure product with only natural ingredients. Even the electrolytes come from Mediterranean marine salt, not a barrel of chemicals. We like it – we think you will too. At 86 calories per 500ml it is perfect.
If you are looking for a fun, relaxed day running or walking through a wine farm then this is for you. Choose your own Start Time, anytime from 07.00 am to 09.30 am. No groups, no crowds, just you and nature … and you can sleep in late.

Vredenheim Wine Farm in Stellenbosch is no ordinary wine farm! We are family-owned and have something for everyone.
Vredenheim is approximately 331 years old and one of the oldest wine estates in the Stellenbosch area of the Cape Winelands.
Owners Coen and Rikie Bezuidenhout acquired Vredenheim in 1986, after moving to the Cape from their game farm in Kwazulu Natal. The couple’s love for game explains the impressive variety of wildlife on the farm today, including blue wildebeest, springbok, eland, fallow deer and zebras. Vredenheim is now owned by the couple’s children, Basie and Elzabé Bezuidenhout.
