The countdown has officially begun for one of the Eastern Cape’s favourite trail running weekends.
The 2026 Chokka Trail Run returns to Cape St Francis Resort on Saturday, 8 August, and Sunday, 9 August, celebrating its milestone 10th edition with two days of running, socialising and seaside adventure.
With only a few days to go, organisers are encouraging runners to secure their place before entries close.
A Race for Every Runner
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply looking for an unforgettable weekend outdoors, there’s a distance to suit you.
The event features:
- Ultra Marathon
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10km Trail Run
- New multi-day trail experiences
As always, the routes showcase the rugged coastline, indigenous fynbos and spectacular scenery that have made the Chokka Trail Run a favourite on the South African trail calendar.
More Than Just a Race
The Chokka Trail Run has never been only about crossing the finish line.
Instead, it’s about spending a weekend in Cape St Francis with fellow runners, family and friends. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, great food, local specials, an afterparty and plenty of stories shared long after the medals have been handed out.
With the event celebrating its 10th anniversary, this year’s edition promises to be even more memorable.
Enter Before It’s Too Late
Organised by St Francis Sport, the Chokka Trail Run continues to attract runners looking for a weekend that combines challenging trails with one of the country’s most beautiful coastal destinations.
Entries are still open, but with race weekend fast approaching, now is the time to sign up.
