🌊 The Blue Wave Conquers the Ultra! 🎽💙

The Two Oceans 56km is the ultimate test of grit, and this Saturday, the Atlantic Athletic Club family showed up in force! From the nervous energy at the start to the legendary Blue Wave vibe at the support points, it was a day to remember.

🏆 Celebrating Our Podium & Silver Stars

While we cheer for every mile, a huge shoutout to those who secured top spots:

Joshua Chigome: Silver in 3:35 (3rd Western Province Athlete).

Neil Bekker(3:49) & David Long (3:53): Both bringing home Silver.

Dominique Cohen: 3rd Western Province Athlete in 4:13.

40-49 Ladies Team: 2nd Prize winners (Dominique Cohen, Ashleigh Hansen, Leanne Large, Rianda Gilliland).

🙌 Every Finisher, Every Mile

The real magic was in the 113 finishers who pushed through the doubts and the distance. Whether you were hunting a PB or just fighting to reach the finish line before the cut-off, your resilience is what defines this club. We are so proud of every single AACer who took on the 56km challenge! 👟💪

🗣️ The Support Crew

A massive thank you to Clement and his Elves for the incredible energy at the Vibe Point, and to our Gazebo hosts Gabiba and Dara. And of course, Comfort for capturing the sweat and smiles over his own 200km photography marathon! 📸🤳

Stay Tuned for our Half Marathon recap 😎

Friday mornings are for the weekly Captains Run 🏃🏃

*Weekend Race Wrap* 🗣️Peninsula Marathon was as competitive as ever, with runners hoping for qualifying times. The sea of blue 🧢 at the start in Green Point was full of ambition, whether for a personal best, finishing without cramps, or simply completing the race. At 5:15am, the marathon began, chasing pavements from Green Point to Simons Town on a calm day with *no wind*. In Bergvliet, the half-marathon started at 7am.

There were 83 marathon and 24 half-marathon finishers, with several achieving Personal Bests. Two runners finished under three hours and new joiners and Dominique Cohen placed in the top ten. The marathon doubled as a WP Championship, earning *Joshua Chigome* bronze overall and bronze in the 50+ category.
In the 21km, *Catrina Denker* came third in the 50-plus age category.

Thanks to and who made the finish memorable with their hospitality, and who sourced the most delicious samosas.

Congratulations to all on your well-earned, very large medals. See you next week at Milkwood. 💙

Merry Christmas from Atlantic Athletic Club 🎅🏽🎄

Grateful for early mornings, sweaty miles, shared laughs, and the incredible community that makes this club what it is. Whether you’re running today, resting up, or enjoying some festive treats — we hope your day is filled with joy, good company, and maybe a sneaky run or two.

Here’s to more miles, mountains, and memories together in the year ahead ❤️🏃🏽‍♂️

Start your new year on the perfect foot — literally! 👟✨

AAC’s Couch to 10km Program is back, and it’s the ideal way to kick off 2026 with purpose, community, and a whole lot of movement. Whether you’re brand new to running or coming back after a break, this 10-week journey is designed to help you build confidence, fitness, and the joy of running one step at a time.

We officially start on 19 January 2026, meeting every Monday at 17:30 at the iconic Mouille Point Lighthouse — one of the most beautiful spots in Cape Town to begin any adventure. 🌅💙

Over the next 10 weeks, you’ll be guided through a structured and supportive program that gradually takes you from “I’m not sure I can run” to “I just finished 10km!” You’ll meet great people, share laughs, celebrate progress, and discover just how life-changing running can be.

Everyone is welcome — all ages, all fitness levels, all goals. If you can show up, we’ll do the rest together. 💪💙

Start your year strong. Start your year with us.
Your life-changing journey begins 19 January 2026. ✨🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
