Run Cape Town – Eco-Friendly Running Tours

Discover Cape Town in the most natural and sustainable way—on foot with Run Cape Town, an eco-active tourism company offering guided running tours across the city, mountains, forests, and beyond. Our mission is simple: to minimise transport use and leave only the lightest footprint—your running shoes on the trail, not a carbon footprint.

Cape Town is a runner’s paradise, with routes that take you from the bustling, historic city centre to the breathtaking slopes of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head with its sweeping 360-degree views, the peaceful Silvermine Reserve, and shaded trails through Tokai Forest. Add in the Western Cape’s mild, sunny climate and you’ve got the perfect conditions for exploring outdoors on the run.

Run Cape Town caters for all levels and paces, keeping groups small (1–7 people) to ensure a personal, tailor-made experience. You choose the distance, pace, and departure time, and we’ll create the perfect run for you—whether that’s a leisurely sightseeing jog with photo stops, a steady training session, or a challenging trail run.

Our tours include ready-made urban and trail routes, a culturally rich run through Gugulethu township, and even a unique half-day trail run in Darling on the West Coast, ending with delicious local treats. Every run is guided by a local who shares insider knowledge, history, and stories, turning your jog into an adventure.

So lace up your running shoes and join us for a guided run through Cape Town—an active, healthy, and unforgettable way to explore the Mother City.
