Calling all Trail Runners

It’s that time of the year again where we kick off the start of summer and cherry season, with our annual trail run at Loxtonia Farm this November 2025.

We would love for the whole family to get involved – we have 3 beautiful routes: A 6km which can be done as a run or a fun run/walk a 12km and a 21km for those who are more ambitious.

Post run there will be a coffee truck, food trucks, cherries, music and cider, beer, wine, and gin available, so come and sit in- between the orchards and have a fun-filled day with us on Loxtonia farm.
