RMB Run4Rivers : Trail run on the Simonsberg
RMB Run4Rivers is an annual trail running event hosted at Plaisir Wine Estate on the slopes of the Simonsberg in the Cape Winelands. The event offers three marked routes that all start and finish on the estate lawns and use a single exclusive trail network of singletrack and river trails through fynbos and proteas.
Available distances:
- 5 km Disa Fun Run : lower slopes and vineyards, about 100 m climbing, one water point.
- 11 km Pincushion Challenge : climbs higher with significant views, about 450 m climbing, two water points.
- 22 km Waboom Challenge : the longest route with sustained elevation, about 1 150 m climbing, three water points.
Entries support river conservation work in partnership with the Banhoek Conservancy; funds help clear invasive vegetation and build sustainable trails. Entry fees are listed per distance. Registration is available the day before at Plaisir Wine Estate and on race day at the venue.
Podium prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each distance. A lucky-draw prize giving is held after the race and winners must be present to claim prizes. The finish area becomes a celebration with wine stations, a gin experience, beer, food vendors and live music on the estate lawns. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
