Change of Season Trail Run @Warwick '26

Change of Season Trail Run presented by Sportsmans Warehouse

As the seasons shift, the trails come alive in a different way. Cool mornings and soft winter sun set the scene for a rewarding trail run, with fresh green landscapes and vineyards in seasonal transition adding colour along the way. Expect a challenging route with some solid climbs, well worth the views.

The event takes place at Warwick Wine Estate, set against the slopes of Klapmutskop, with sweeping views of Simonsberg and the surrounding winelands.

The Dirtopia team has been building and maintaining trails here since 2005, and for this event, selected singletrack sections are opened exclusively.Two distances are available, both making the most of the terrain and scenery.
