2021-11-27 08:00 - 15:00
Get on your marks to kick-start summer in the Ceres Valley and join the Loxtonia Cherry Trail Run through scenic landscapes and apple orchards on Saturday, 27 November.

With lots on offer from fresh cherries, food trucks and freshly brewed coffee, to cider, craft gin, and beer, get ready for a fun-filled day at the cidery. A jumping castle and an exciting encounter feeding alpacas and horses, will keep the little ones enthralled.
The full Loxtonia Cider range will be available for you to try, and with the cherry season in full swing, the limited edition Loxtonia Cherry flavoured apple cider is a must. Fresh and juicy with bright cherry aromas melded with crisp apple, this lightly sweet cider is beautifully balanced with a slightly sour tang.
The Loxtonia Cherry Trail Run is open for runners and walkers of all ages. Registration at the Loxtonia Cidery opens at 07h00 with the starting time of 07h30 for the 10,7km leg and 08h00 for 5km.
