WEAR ORANGE!
Get ready to unleash your trailblazing spirit at the Astron Energy Trail!
We want to see a sea of orange flooding through the Baakens Valley! Whether it’s your shoes, your cap, your shirt or even your undies… get into the spirit of the day by wearing orange (FYI, the colour – not the fruit!). With our sponsor, Astron Energy, branding themselves in orange, we thought this would be the perfect way for us to celebrate our team spirit, community energy and love of adventure. Come on, you Princes and Princesses of Orange!
Embark on a journey through breathtaking trails that will challenge and inspire you. This isn’t just a run; it’s a celebration of nature and the thrill of the trail. We’ve revamped and reenergized the entire event to bring you the Astron Energy Trail – a fusion of world-class trails and a great outdoor venue.
Join the trail running community for an epic day at The Fat Tracks Containers, our new start and finish point. Powered by the dynamic partnership of Astron Energy and Toby’s Motors, this event promises a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and the joy of conquering the Baakens Valley.
As we bid farewell to the past and welcome a new era, the Astron Energy Trail is your chance to be part of something extraordinary. Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or a beginner looking for a challenge, this is your moment to shine.
Mark your calendar – entries open on 01 January 2026! Seize the opportunity to be part of the trailblazing legacy. Don’t miss out on the adventure; secure your spot before pre-entries close at 13:00 on Thursday, 29 January 2026. Get ready to redefine your limits and make 2025 a year to remember on the Astron Energy Trail. Your trail journey begins here!
