About this event
Hebron Haven Trail Run — Back to the Midlands Countryside
Following a memorable first outing, the Hebron Haven Trail Run returns to the scenic heart of the Midlands, once again hosted at the historic Hebron Haven Hotel. This cosy country retreat, dating back to the 1920s, has long welcomed travellers passing through The Dargle — and now continues to set the stage for a trail experience rooted in both history and natural beauty.
The story of the land adds a unique layer to the experience. Under British rule, the property was granted to Carl Preller, who owned over 2,400 hectares in the area. Local lore tells of buried treasure hidden to protect it from being squandered — with whispers that some may have been uncovered during the construction of the Dargle Road. Whether myth or truth, the sense of mystery still lingers.
The routes wind through a diverse mix of plantations, towering forests, stretches along the uMngeni River, and around tranquil farm dams — offering a balanced and rewarding trail experience that builds on the success of the first event.
Accommodation is available at Hebron Haven for those wanting to fully embrace the countryside escape, and after the last event, their warm hospitality left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
A return to Hebron Haven means another opportunity to experience these landscapes in a setting that feels both relaxed and quietly adventurous.

Hebron Haven was the perfect setting for a trail run. What a treat to be running and hearing the cattle MOO instead of traffic. Thank you for an awesome morning on the trails
