Simon’s Town has been home to humans for thousands of years. 🪨🌊

Join archaeologist Nic Wiltshire on a fascinating walk through Simon’s Town’s Stone Age origins — uncovering what life looked like on these shores long before the harbour, the navy, or the High Street existed.

This is one of those experiences that makes you see a familiar place in a completely different way. 🐚

Montagu Trail Festival 2026

Set in the heart of Montagu, the Montagu Trail Festival is a true winter trail running celebration — built for runners, supporters, friends and families alike.

Expect a full weekend of incredible mountain views, fast-flowing single track, and just the right amount of climbing - with plenty happening off the trails too.

Choose your weekend run distance:
👊 The 15km Breeze ~ 9km/6km�
👊 The 25km Cruise ~ 20km/10km�
👊 The 50km Bruise ~ 35km/15km

One of our favourite features returns again this year — on-site childminding, so parents can hit the trails stress-free while the little ones are well looked after!

Friday evening kicks off with the much-loved “Chase the Tuk Tuk” 5km fun run, winding through town and ending with a wine and beer tasting hosted by Montagu Winery and Route 62 Brewery 🍷🍻

From trail runs and live music to great food, local products, prizes, and family activities — this is the winter trail weekend you don’t want to miss.
