Start Your Saturday with Green Point parkrun

What better way to start your Saturday than with a little fresh air, some exercise and a few hundred friendly faces? Every Saturday morning, Green Point parkrun brings together walkers, joggers and runners for a free 5 km adventure through one of Cape Town's loveliest urban parks. There's no pressure to be fast, no competition to win and absolutely no need to call yourself a runner. Walk the whole thing, chase a personal best or simply enjoy being part of something. And if you're feeling sociable, stick around for a post-run coffee and a chat. It's exercise, community and a little Saturday morning happiness rolled into one.

BEFORE YOU GO

Green Point parkrun takes place every Saturday at 8:00 am, starting near the East Gate of Green Point Urban Park. Participation is completely free, but you'll need to register online beforehand and bring your personal parkrun barcode to receive an official time. Arrive around 15 minutes early for the briefing. All fitness levels are welcome, including walkers. Dogs are permitted on short leads, with one dog per participant. Check the website before heading out, as occasional cancellations can occur when other events take place in the precinct.
