And that's a wrap on Boston Trail Run 2026! 🎉 What an incredible day on the trails at Boston Country Club. A record 132 runners joined us this year, 106 on the 8km and 26 on the 20km, and the energy was absolutely unreal from start to finish.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors who made it all possible: Afgri Animal Feeds, Boviserve, BR Wealth, Dairy Tech, De Heus Feeds, Farmers Agri Care, Greenhills Laboratory, Irritech SA, Meadow Feeds, Meraki, Omnia, Orange Grove Dairy, Oscars Meats, Pro Dairy Services, Semex SA, Tip Top Milk, and W Pringle Export / Four Lakes / World Wide Sires. Your generous support means everything to this event and to the Boston community.

Thank you to every runner who laced up, every volunteer who gave their time, and everyone who came along for a day in the country. This race exists because of this community, and we couldn't be prouder of what it has become.

See you on the trails in 2027! 🏃
