Rosendal Fire & Ice Social Trail Run Weekend
Rosendal Fire & Ice is a winter trail-run weekend held from 21 to 23 August 2026 at Rosendal Country Retreat in Rosendal, Eastern Free State. The event combines morning trail running on local paths and trails with two nights of luxury accommodation at the retreat and shared evening meals and fireside time.
Route options are offered on both days:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 15 km (Day 1 only; Day 2 includes 5 km)
The entry fee is all inclusive and covers two nights accommodation, five meals from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast, an event-specific t-shirt, route water points and access to the planned runs. Pricing is listed per person with different options for sharing and non-sharing accommodation, and a separate rate for non-running supporters.
The weekend emphasizes relaxed, social running rather than racing or timed results. Runs are scheduled later in the morning to allow for slower starts and warm trails. Evenings centre on communal meals, hot showers, fires and indoor comfort at the retreat. The event lists a typical age range from 12 and up and takes place within the Rosendal hills and surrounding countryside. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
