Braamfie Runners Running the Soul of Johannesburg Since 2012
Braamfie Runners started in March 2012 in Braamfontein, the beating heart of Johannesburg's inner city, evolving from an invite-only Nike-supported crew into one of South Africa's most enduring run communities. Built on the spirit of Ubuntu, no one gets left behind and every pace is welcome, with the crew's strength measured by who shows up, not who finishes first. Around 50 members strong, they are a cross-section of Johannesburg itself: diverse, gritty, and tight-knit, united by a shared love for the city's raw, unfiltered streets. Three weekly runs from Prefontaine in Braamfontein, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6pm and Saturday mornings at 7am, offer routes from 8km to 32km with sweepers ensuring nobody runs the last stretch alone.
