Run the Vines

Run the Vines is a success story of a great idea that has grown into a great all-year-round event with collaboration, hard work and passion. Lans Pepler approached the Drakenstein Local Tourism Association’s General Manager, Annelize Stroebel, with the idea of holding trail running events on the beautiful wine farms in the Paarl region.
Annelize thought this was an amazing tourism opportunity for our region and put Lans into contact with the wine farms.
The rest, as they say, is history!
Run the Vines is sponsored by Auto Atlantic & Auric Auto.
The series started in March 2015 and has grown in numbers as well as being a popular family friendly event.
It caters to the novice runner as well as the more serious runner and is the perfect spot for family and friends to gather at a different wine farm every month. At each event there is always good food, great wine, tons of hospitality and live music.
