Plett Athletics Running on Wine @ Packwood
The event was a huge success despite the chilly start. 69 runners took part, with a further 20 or so non runners joining for the wine.
There was a choice of distances to cater for walkers and keen trail runners alike, 5 km, 10 km and 17 km. Registration included complimentary wine tasting hosted by Ashley September, Packwoods new wine maker from Distell in Stellenbosh. Children weren’t to be out done with milkshake tastings, made from Packwoods own creamy Jersey cow milk. It was great to have so many keen Knysna trail runners join this Youth Day Event.
5km boys joint winners were Harry Tanner and Mathew Van Coller, 5 km girl winner Jody Tanner. 10 km male winner Johan De Bruijn and female winner Caroline Wood. 17 km joint male winners were Warren Pieterson and Steff Le Roux and female winner Annekeke Barnard.
All adult winners were presented with a bottle of Packwoods Sauvignon Blanc. Runners lingered longer socialising and enjoying wine tastings on the lawn cheese platters were served in the delightful Lunch Box. Huge thanks goes to Vicky and Peter Gent of Packwood for allowing us to run from their beautiful farm.
