One of our members, Nico van der Walt, passed away yesterday after a short battle with cancer.

Nico joined our club in January 2025 and had already achieved his 250 km and 500 km distance milestone peaks.

Our sincerest condolences to Saramarie, his partner, who is also one our members, his family, relatives and friends. May Nico rest in peace.🙏

We will miss Nico's friendly smile and positive attitude towards his walking and life in general.

Some of our members' weekend activities.
We have our members, like Rentia Kruger, who participates in races such as the Baldwin Jeppe 10km. Congratulations on another excellent achievement!

Then, there is Margie Asprey, who does the extraordinary. Last Saturday, she participated in the Warriors Race to race funds for FORA (Friends of Rescued Animals). We love you and everything you do/ participate in for the animals.

Important message from Run/Walk For Life CEO, Matthew Grossett.

Recent events in Kempton Park (and at the MyRun in Sandton) should force South Africa’s running and walking community to have a serious conversation about what “safety” actually means.

Our thoughts are first and foremost with the families and communities affected.

But these events also raise an uncomfortable question that those of us involved in organised exercise cannot afford to ignore:

When we tell runners and walkers that they are “safer in a group”, what are we actually doing to make that group safer?
