RUN THE VINES 2025 SERIES PRESENTED BY FRIST ASCENT

Join us on the 25th of January 2025 for the 1st event of the Run The Vines 2025 Series at Druk My Niet near Paarl.

This 24-hectare wine estate was once a part of a much bigger farm acquired in 1692 by the French Huguenot Francois du Toit. He was the first to discover the passage through the treacherous Drakenstein Mountains, which is why the pass is known today as Du Toitskloof Pass.

Several generations later, his son-in-law inherited this piece of the estate as a dowry. So dissatisfied was he at its diminutive size, wedged between two much bigger parts of land, that he dubbed it Druk-My-Niet, meaning ‘don’t squeeze me’.


Info:

3km Manzi Water Paarl Junior Challenge for kids under 8 years of age --  Free  - Start 8:50

Because we are running on working farms the promoted distances might not be exact. It might be a little longer or shorter. I will do my best to have it as close to the promoted distance as possible.   

Route profiles will be posted closer to the event as all the runs are on working farms and things can change quickly. Join our Facebook Group at www.facebook.com/groups/1532193470394888 for updated info.
