The Trail Series Super League 2026 is heading to the breath-taking slopes of the Paarl Nature Reserve on Sunday, 1 March 2026.

Experience the Wild at Paarl Nature Reserve

Starting from the lush gardens of the iconic Afrikaans Taal Monument, the course takes you straight into the heart of the Paarl Nature Reserve. This venue is a favourite among locals because it offers a unique blend of technical climbs and incredibly fast, flowing descents.

Participants can choose from three distinct distances tailored to their fitness levels:

• XL (20km): A testing route with an 870m vertical gain for those who love a challenge.
• Long (13.5km): A balanced distance featuring 560m of climbing.
• Short (7.5km): Perfect for beginners or those wanting a quick, scenic dash.

Furthermore, the race is expertly managed by the Wildrunner team, ensuring that route markings are crystal clear and the vibe at the finish line is nothing short of electric.
