The Hex Trails
Step off the beaten path and into a weekend built for adventure, connection, and community. Rocky Road Weekend is more than just a running and hiking event — it’s an opportunity to challenge yourself, explore breathtaking trails in the Hex River Valley Mountains, and share the journey with others who love the outdoors as much as you do.
From sunrise runs to sunset laughter, this is a space where nature, movement, and people come together.
Whether you’re chasing your personal best, enjoying the trails at your own pace, or simply looking for a weekend away surrounded by mountains and good company, Rocky Road Weekend is the place for you.
Join us for three days of trails, fresh air, and unforgettable memories. Adventure is always better when shared.
Rocky Road is a unique weekend adventure, forcing roadies to slow down and enjoy the trails, and trail goats to test their speed limits on the road. As the name suggests, it includes both technical rocky mountain trails and easy flat road.
EVENT START AND FINISH: KLIPHEUWEL FARM, HEX RIVER VALLEY

On Saturday 18.04.2026 participants have the option of choosing between a 17km technical mountain trail or a 10km relatively flat "veld" route.
