Run Wild. Find Your Tribe.

Always wanted to try trail running but worried you'd be the one holding everyone back? Running Wild might be your kind of crew.

This friendly Cape Town community believes trail running should be about fresh air, beautiful places and good company — not personal bests or podium finishes.

Their eight-week Snail Trail programme introduces complete beginners to trail running at a gentle pace, gradually building confidence and fitness while exploring Cape Town's forests, greenbelts and mountain paths.

Already running? Join the intermediate Wolf Pack for regular trail adventures. Prefer walking? Their Walking Wild group offers a more leisurely way to explore the trails. Come for the exercise. Stay for the friendships, laughter and occasional waterfall swim.

BEFORE YOU GO
Running Wild operates in Constantia and the False Bay area, with different groups for beginners, intermediate runners and power walkers.

The beginner programme runs over eight weeks, with the next intake advertised for January 2027. The Wolf Pack meets regularly during the week and on alternate Sundays.

This is a paid, organised programme rather than a free drop-in running club. Contact the organisers to confirm current fees, availability and meeting points before joining.
