Onsite Events
Run The Vines is a series of trail runs that started in March 2015 when the owner of Onsite Events decided to host events that will encourage family and friends, young and old to have a healthy life style by taking part in events that will accommodated all fitness levels.
The fact that the novice runner to the more serious runner can run with family and friends on a different wine farm every month while enjoying the good food, wine, hospitality and live music after their run, surely contributes to the success of the series.
2019 Promises to be an exciting year with some new events that was added to the calendar to accommodate more runners to join in the fun of receiving 12 bottles of wine at our annual prize giving function that takes place at the end of each year in February.
Runners must pre-enter and pre-pay for the series before the 1st event on the 2nd of March 2019. You will again be able to take the down payment option to make it easier for you to enter the series.
This year will consist of 14 runs out of which you will have to choose 12 that you will be able to run. If you enter the series you will receive a 50% discount on the other 2 runs that do not form part of the 12 you chose.
We will be hosting our 1st 3 day stage run on the 13th, 14th and 15th of September 2019. You will also be able to include this run in your entry with a R500 discount on the stage run.
Runners that pre-enter for the series will also receive a T-Shirt to wear to prize giving or at home as part of their series entry. The design will be confirmed soon but it will depict the fact that you entered for the series. This unique shirt will not be for sale to any other runners.
Runners can down grade to any distance at any time, but will have to pay the difference should they wish to upgrade.
