Welcome to the crew.

RunCPT is Cape Town's running community — all levels, all paces, no judgement.

Here's how it works:

• General Chat — Introduce yourself, ask questions, find running partners

• Social Runs — We run together every weekend. Check the events tab for the next one

• Run Announcements — Route updates and news

If you want premium training plans, GPS routes, and access to exclusive coached sessions, check out RunCPT Pro.

Drop a message in General Chat and let us know your favourite route in Cape Town. See you on the road.

Whether you're just starting out or training for your next ultra, Cape Town has some of the best running routes on the planet. Here are 5 you need to try:

1. Sea Point Promenade

Flat, scenic, and perfect for easy runs. 11km out-and-back along the Atlantic. Great for beginners and tempo runs alike.

2. Newlands Forest

Shaded trail running under towering pines. 5-8km loops with gentle climbs. Perfect for hot days.

3. Pipe Track (above Camps Bay)

A stunning contour path with ocean views. About 7km one way. Moderate difficulty — one of the most beautiful runs in the city.

4. Rhodes Memorial to Kirstenbosch

A mix of trail and tar through the back of Table Mountain. Rolling hills, 10km+ options, and wildlife if you're lucky.

5. Muizenberg to Kalk Bay (False Bay)

Coastal road running with a village coffee stop at the turnaround. 6km one way. Flat and fast.

We run these routes (and more) every weekend with RunCPT. All levels welcome — whether you're doing your first 5K or your fiftieth marathon.

Free to join. No gatekeeping. Just running.
