La Capra Goat Run

Spend a day with wine in Paarl (oh, and some running too)

As September marks the start of Spring, what better way to start on your  swimsuit body than a trail run? We love a bit of wine with our exercise, so the La Capra Goat Run at the Fairview Wine and Cheese Estate in Paarl provides us with the perfect day. On Saturday, 9 September 2017, take your loved ones out to Paarl for fun in the sun, wine and some intense cardio!

As is standard with any trail run, there are a number of different routes. Not everyone is capable of running a 28km race, and some of us want to be able to breathe long enough to have some wine. Such participants can enter the 5km fun run or walk, or the 8km route. Ambitious athletes can opt for the 15km course or the impressive 28-km trail run.

For those cheering runners on from the sideline, there will be food stalls, live music and plenty of wine to taste. This can be an exciting day for the whole family. Have some breakfast while a loved one runs their race, and be by the finish line to congratulate them – perhaps with a celebratory glass of wine?

All of the courses feature some inclines, as they are all run in and around the Paarl Mountains. Not only is Paarl a lovely place to do a bit of running, it is also a lovely place to indulge in a bit of wine tasting. La Capra has some fantastic wines, and their Paarl estate is simply magnificent.

The charity benefactors for this year's event are: The Drakenstein House, Boland School of Autism, Sunfield Home, Wellington Lions Club, Paarl Mountain Reserve and The Sunflower Fund. All of the proceeds from the 2017 La Capra Goat Run will be divided between these charities and donated.
