Discover the freedom to run.

The Cogmans Trail Run.

Arguably the Western Cape’s best-kept secret is the Montagu Trails Network. Technical trail with towering ascents and fast downs makes this winter race yours. We take you around the Montagu bowl surrounding the town summiting the Aasvoëlkrans Peak, Cogmans Peak, and then the beastly Bloupunt Peak at 1266m. Registration is on Friday night, where we host a vibey evening with a karoo chill in the air, a warm burger and a good golden ale!
