Hello Chintsa Summer Trail Run 2026
The Hello Chintsa Summer Trail Run takes place at Emerald Vale Brewery in Chintsa East, Eastern Cape. Routes run through working farmland and natural bush with single-track sections, rolling climbs and ocean views. The course includes a floating bridge near the finish and a dam that may be used to cool off in warm weather. Routes are clearly marked and managed, and water tables are provided along each distance.
Distances available:
- 5.5 km – fun social route for runners, walkers and families
- 11 km – intermediate mix of jeep track and single track
- 15.5 km – longer route with more climbing for experienced trail participants
All finishers receive sustainably hand crafted medals. Early bird and late entry fees are published for each distance, and online entries close 13 December 2026. Late entries are accepted on race day at registration with cash and card accepted.
Post-run amenities are at the brewery and include music from a resident DJ, freshly brewed coffee, craft beer, iced tea, food and farm produce from the Kitchen Deli. The venue is spectator-friendly, has toilets and restaurant facilities on site, and an on-site Alderson medic. Walkers and hikers are explicitly welcome and a lucky draw with sponsor prizes is held after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
