Blanco Trail Run
5,000 hectares of private Karoo plateau. Marked routes from 5 km to ultra distance. The clearest air in South Africa for the lungs and the legs.
Pick your distance
Homestead Loop
A gentle introduction. The farm roads and fence-line paths around the cottages. Suitable for all levels.
Dam Walk / Run
A loop to the dam and back. Mostly gentle slopes with one short climb. Good for beginners building distance.
Plateau Trail
The signature Blanco run. Open Karoo veld, rocky plateau, long views. Moderate difficulty, high reward.
Guided Trail Run
A guided run with one of our farm runners who know the terrain intimately. They will take you where the views are best.
3-Day Trail Running Camp
We host occasional trail running camps at Blanco — typically 3 days of guided runs, coaching on terrain technique, meals, and accommodation in the cottages. All levels welcome.
Run the plateau
Trail running is available to all guests at no extra charge. Just ask at the farm to be shown the routes.
