The
Eston
Show

KIDZONE
in Race Village

The Eston Show is going on its 65th year and for the first time, KZN Trail Running will be hosting the trail runs at this magnificent event. The Showgrounds will be host to not only the KZN Trail Running Race Village, but also an assortment of other vendors, entertainment and activities including the Nedbank Insurance Dirtfest, a tractor parade, live music and much more. For more information on The Eston Show, click Here.

Out on course, runners will get to journey across sugar cane fields, farmlands, and the surrounding bushveld as they explore the Tala Game Reserve and its spectacular views. Runners should get ample oppurtunities to witness a variety of wildlife including kudu, giraffe, wildebeest and eland whilst traversing through, between the grasslands and thornveld.

Pre-entries close at MIDDAY on Friday, 23rd August. Late entries will be available on the day of the event but at a R50 surcharge (U18’s exempt). Please note that card facilities will not be available on the day for the purchase of late entries. Registration and late entries will open from 6:00 am through to 7:30 am. Please arrive with plenty of time to process your registration.

As KZNTR is moving toward the more ecologically friendly cupless water tables, we ask you to please ensure that you bring your own trail cup, water bottles and/or hydration packs for on course hydration and refills!

KZNTR KidZone will be available for Children (2yrs+). Experienced childminders will allow parents to get out and enjoy exhilarating trails by distracting (and watching over) the little ones with stimulating and fun activities at the Race Village.

Please note that as this event will be hosted within the Eston Show. All participants of the trail run will receive free entry into the showgrounds but all spectators and kids older than the age of 12 will have to pay an entry fee. The entry fee for adults is R40 and for kids is R20.
