We will bring chilled Jack Black Beer to enjoy afterwards and ask that you contribute to the Volunteer Wildfire Volunteers - https://vws.org.za/vws-support/On Thursday, 9 April 2026, we meet at Newlands Forest for the run to start at 18:00. We will run the Woodcutters Loop Trail Route.
Meet in the parking area at the Parks Board office / helipad / firebase (the parking area is the main parking area off the M3 – 700 metres north of the big M3 / Blue Route intersection with Rhodes Drive / Newlands Avenue, and about 1.2kms south of the southern end of UCT).
Difficulty rating – 6/10
The distance is about 8kms.
Fast, Fast-Medium, Medium and Medium-slow pace options available, each with an experienced group leader to cater for different speeds, so provided you can run a flat 10kms in less than 65 minutes, there will be a group for you.
***MORE NB: BRING COLD DRINKS FOR AFTER!!***
NB: PLEASE ALL DO YOUR BEST TO STAY IN YOUR GROUPS - MOST PARTICULARLY DO NOT RUN AHEAD OF YOUR GROUP LEADER. If you are new to the runs and unsure of the pace of the various groups, then rather run with a slower group initially.
