Vulture Conservation Trail Run
The Vulture Conservation Trail Run takes place at the Mein Heim Guest Farm, located on the R357 Douglas Road approximately 15 kilometers outside of Kimberley. This sporting event focuses on vulture conservation, with proceeds from the run donated toward these efforts. The course allows participants to experience the local game and fresh air of the farm environment.
Participants can choose from two main distances:
- 16 km Run or Walk (minimum age 16 years)
- 5 km Run or Walk (minimum age 9 years)
The event is held under the rules of AGW, ASA, and World Athletics. Runners must display two permanent 2026 ASA license numbers on their front and back, or purchase a temporary license to be worn on the front. The use of earphones is strictly prohibited during the event. As the farm follows specific environmental regulations, intentional littering is not permitted on the grounds.
Finishers receive medals, and prize money is awarded to top performers in various categories, including overall winners and age-group leaders. Participants are required to bring their own water bottles or energy drinks, though a water point is available at the finish line. The venue provides ablution facilities and has refreshments for sale. Emergency medical services are present on-site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
