About Howick Trail Run 2026

Get ready for an unforgettable trail running adventure at the charming La Petite France Café, nestled just outside Howick in the heart of the Midlands.

Experience a spectacular route that winds through the Preston dairy farm and Westphalia avocado farm, with sweeping views across Albert Falls Dam. Enjoy a diverse mix of flowing singletrack, rolling grasslands, and wide-open countryside, all while taking in the natural beauty that makes this region so special. Keep an eye out for the resident blue wildebeest, often spotted roaming the landscape.

More than just a race, this is an opportunity to discover one of the Midlands’ hidden gems. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply soaking up the scenery, expect a day filled with adventure, fresh country air, and memorable moments on the trails.

Totally enjoyed the challenging course. However disappointed that my entering of my athletic club ie Protea Striders A. C - Pmburg ( Official KZNA club) is not entered in my entry and not recognised. Also it will appreciated if age category is recognised and get a special incentives especially that KZNA trail Champs coming up on the 24 Oct 2026. I am a year old grandmaster and came first in my age category and this was my very first trail run. Thank you
