*Faku Chiefs Comrades 2026 – Shakeout Run & Kit Handout*

📅 Tuesday, 9 June 2026
📍 Venue: Now Coffee, Glenashley
⏰ Time: 05:15 AM
🏃 Distances: 5 km & 10 km

Join the 2026 Comrades Marathon entrants for a relaxed shakeout run as we calm the nerves and enjoy some easy kilometres together.

All paces welcome – come run, connect, and get race-ready!

☕ Coffee, camaraderie, and Comrades vibes guaranteed.

At the heart of Faku Chiefs is the belief that life — and running — is about giving back more than we take. Whether it’s supporting charities, cheering fellow runners on from the sidelines, or simply showing up for one another, our Chiefs know how to leave a positive footprint (usually in slightly sweaty running shoes).

We believe in lifting people up, creating a community built on encouragement, good gees, and support for every runner and friend — member or not.

And while we may spend plenty of time chasing medals, PBs, and finish lines, we’re equally passionate about contributing to something bigger than ourselves. Because at Faku Chiefs, being part of the club means being part of the community too. .snake .matt

Never attends the committee meetings, talks more than a five year old after a sugar rush, but will absolutely stalk you for race photos and hound you to complete your charity profile. Get ready for the incoming message…

If you hear, “Have I told you this story?”… just know you’re in for the long version.

He’s the man behind the beers, the rehydrate, and the gazebo waiting for you at the finish line. Also somehow responsible for gathering the Chiefs together like a shepherd rounding up slightly dehydrated, overconfident runners. Not opposed to fining you with a tequila shot either. 🍻🏃🌵

Ladies… unfortunately you can’t add our Sub 7 .snake to your cart. 😏
But you can thank him for the new Faku Chiefs kit.

✔ Softer, lighter material
✔ A slightly more flattering fit
✔ And a few extra goodies to conveniently “accidentally” add to checkout

Comrades kit collection will take place at our Shake Out Run on the Tuesday morning 9th June.

And if Comrades isn’t on your race calendar this year, but there are still some goals and questionable life choices ahead… the website is waiting for you. 🐆🏃‍♀️

With just ONE month to go until Comrades, our chairman has been quietly working behind the scenes making sure the gees levels are high and the admin levels are low. 👏🏼🏃‍♂️
