Welcome to the BUT – Brandwaterkom Unforgettable Trail at Oranje Guest Farm!
Get ready for a truly unforgettable mountain-running experience in the heart of the Brandwaterkom. Starting at the scenic and historic Oranje Guest Farm, runners will explore rugged mountain paths, rolling ridgelines, and wide-open Berg views that make this event as beautiful as it is challenging.

The BUT offers distances for all abilities — from beginner-friendly routes to tougher, technical climbs for the seasoned trail runner. Each course is carefully crafted to highlight the natural beauty, heritage, and breathtaking landscapes of the Brandwaterkom and Maluti foothills. Expect crisp mountain air, well-marked trails, friendly marshals, and that warm farm atmosphere you can only get at Oranje.

And the adventure doesn’t end at the finish line.
After your run, cool down in the swimming pool, enjoy delicious food stalls, sip on refreshing craft beer, and browse our merchandise and race gear for a bit of post-race shopping. It’s the perfect way to relax, celebrate, and make a full day of the experience.

Whether you’re here to push your limits, enjoy a scenic run with friends, or simply soak up the mountain vibes, the Brandwaterkom Unforgettable Trail (BUT) delivers a day you’ll never forget. Come run the Berg, celebrate the journey, and experience the unforgettable spirit of Oranje!

Bring the whole family for a fun fulled day with entertainment relaxing in and out the amazing swimming pool at Oranje Guest Farm.
