Tomjachu Bush Retreat Trail Run

Experience the Wild Beauty of the Lowveld

Trail runners can look forward to a spectacular outdoor experience as Tomjachu Bush Retreat hosts its annual trail run on 30 May 2026. This year, the event moves to a new autumn date, providing the perfect opportunity to escape the city and enjoy a weekend in the heart of the private Tomjachu Nature Reserve. The routes challenge participants with a mix of technical terrain, flowing gravel roads, and single-track climbs that lead through the dramatic Tomjachu Gorge. One of the highlights remains the iconic ascent of Zebra Heights, where runners can catch their breath while looking out over sweeping panoramic views of the valley.

The reserve is home to diverse wildlife, and it is common for runners to spot giraffes along the path. After crossing the finish line, the Homestead offers a place to relax by the pool. Supporters and athletes can gather to enjoy local craft beer from Sabie Breweries, freshly brewed coffee, or a gin and tonic while refuelling with hot prego rolls straight from the fire.
