The GRATITUDE Run 2026 : Stellenbosch
The GRATITUDE Run 2026 is a fundraising running and walking event organised by Distance For Difference at Dornier Wines in Stellenbosch on Heritage Day. Proceeds after direct expenses are allocated to a range of children’s charities supported by D4D.
Participants can choose from several formats and distances:
- 5 km Fun Run / Walk open to all ages (U12 must run with an adult)
- 10 km Trail Run, actual distance approx. 10.6 km (minimum age 14)
- 21.1 km Trail Run, two loops of the 10 km trail (minimum age 14)
- Team Relay: 3 km laps, teams of 3–5 members, four hour time window
Entry fees vary by category and age, with separate online and on-the-day pricing. Race numbers are collected before the event where communicated, or on the morning from 06h00 for those who did not collect earlier. Two water tables are provided on the trail route. Finishers receive medals with special awards for top finishers and winning relay teams. T-shirts are available for purchase at number pickup and on race morning.
Parking on the farm is limited and carpooling or alternative transport is recommended. The event includes live music, prizes and lucky draws and highlights D4D’s ongoing support for beneficiaries such as Tzadokah Foster Home, Sylvia’s House, Kingdom Kids and others.
