Trail shoes, cider, and cherries — the ultimate combo is back! The Loxtonia Cherry Trail Run returns on Saturday, 8 November 2025, and this year promises to be bigger, bolder, and buzzier than ever.
Why You Can’t Miss It
Hosted at the Loxtonia Cider Tasting Room, these events offer a unique way to enjoy cider the way it was meant to be; right where it’s made, surrounded by the orchard and the people who make it.
Every November, as the cherry season kicks off, Loxtonia Cidery in the heart of the Ceres Valley transform into a playground for runners and adventurers alike. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just soaking up the mountain air, the Cherry Trail Run offers an unforgettable way to experience one of South Africa’s most beautiful landscapes.
The Routes
There’s something for every pace and every mood:
- 6km walk/run – fun, family-friendly, and perfect for soaking in the orchard views.
- 12km run – the sweet spot for those looking to push themselves.
- 21km run – a challenge for seasoned runners ready to test their endurance.
All routes wind through orchards, mountain trails and finish at the cidery, where the celebration begins.

- Crisp Loxtonia cider (yes, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic).
