OUR INSPIRING COMMUNITY SHARES THEIR FAVOURITE ROUTES , GEAR AND THE REASONS THEY RUN .

I do not have a favourite distance . For me , trail running is about spending time on the trails , having as much fun as possible – without falling off a cliff ! One of my favourite memories was during a time trial when we were running on a contour path and the waterfall ahead of us was so strong we could see ( and hear ) it sending rocks crashing down the side of the mountain . We had to turn around .

My favourite place to run is on Tafelberg Road at the foot of Table Mountain – you cannot beat that sunrise and the spectacular view of the city . I have run in Asics shoes my entire life ; they are my wings .
