Get ready, Cape Town! The Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) is thrilled to announce the return of Blisters for Bread in association with Lucky Star – our legendary annual charity walk that’s all about fun, fitness, and feeding hungry tummies. Mark your calendars for Sunday, 31 August 2025, and join thousands of cheerful change makers at the Green Point Common Sports Ground, just opposite the Green Point Cricket Club.
Now celebrating 57 years of walking with purpose, the Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk has grown into one of the Mother City’s most beloved fundraising events – and for good reason! It’s not just about getting your steps in; it’s about stepping up to say no to childhood hunger! With the support of our incredible community, this event raises vital funds to provide daily nutritious meals to schoolchildren in need across the Western Cape.
Starting in Stephan Way, Green Point, and finishing at the Green Point Common Sports Ground, the event offers two scenic route options along Cape Town’s iconic Sea Point Promenade:
• 10km Walk which starts at 07:30
• 5km Walk which starts at 08:00
Everyone’s a winner at Blisters for Bread! Every participant will be presented with a commemorative medal as a token of PSFA’s appreciation for taking part in this meaningful cause. In addition, thanks to the generous support of our hydration partner, Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages, complimentary refreshments will be available to all walkers, ensuring everyone stays refreshed and energised throughout the day.
But the fun doesn’t end at the finish line! The Green Point Common Sports Ground will come alive with live music performances from Cape Town’s top local artists, family-friendly entertainment, food stalls and loads of activities for kids and grown-ups alike. Whether you're walking with your school, workplace, friends, or family, this event is the ultimate combo of purpose and play.
“Blisters for Bread is more than just an event – it’s a heartfelt movement,” says Petrina Pakoe, director of PSFA. “Every Rand raised and every kilometre walked helps us ensure that no child has to learn on an empty stomach. We invite everyone – young and old – to walk with purpose and be part of this extraordinary cause.”
Entries are now open, with flexible registration options available for individuals and groups. The R100 entry fee will enable PSFA to provide both breakfast and lunch to 20 hungry schoolchildren for a day. Official event T-shirts are available at R150.
Please note that only online entries will be accepted, and participation is limited to 8 000 walkers. Registration closes at midnight on Sunday, 17 August 2025 – so early entries are strongly encouraged to avoid disappointment.
