Heads up — this is an archived listing from the original site (a past one-off event or a venue that has since closed). We've kept it for the record. The Fairtree Simonsberg Contour brand and organiser Dirtopia (at Delvera farm near Stellenbosch) still exist and the MTB stage race continues, but I found no evidence of a Contour TRAIL RUN edition after 2019; the most recent confirmable trail-run dates are Feb 2019. This post documents a specific dated two-day 2017 stage race the author ran, so as a recurring bookable trail run it is unconfirmed for 2025-2026. Day-1 and Day-2 are duplicate posts for the same event. Stored coordinates corrected to Dirtopia/Delvera.
Trail running at Delvera, Fairtree Simonsberg stage race, Day 2
The 12km route turned out to be an unexpected 15km on both days, and we were happy to have done it.
“The event will start and finish at Delvera farm where runners will be treated to breakfast and lunch, kiddies entertainment and a wonderful area to relax after their run, with showers and massage service. Two routes will be on offer for the two-day stage race, the long route being around 25km each day and the other a 12km route on Saturday and Sunday.”
Trail Series : R200 – R500, depending on length of course and number of races.
Prices and details change — spotted something out of date, or a place that's moved or closed? Tell us and we'll fix it.
