Community Track Club

Cape Town , South Africa

Crew at a Glance

Right in the middle of Cape Town, something new is happening for runners. Erin and Mike started Community Track Club in January 2023 to make track running open to everyone, not just the fastest. Their goal is simple: let anyone run at Green Point Athletic Stadium and feel at home. Every six weeks, they put on a track meet with different pace groups, guest coaches, and a focus on making sure everyone feels welcome and has a good time.

Community Track Club: Breaking Down Barriers in Cape Town

Back in January 2023, Erin and Mike started Community Track Club to show that the track isn’t just for elite runners. They wanted to open up Green Point Athletic Stadium to everyone and create a place where all runners feel welcome and supported.

Erin and Mike believe in changing the running scene by building a real sense of community, one track meet at a time. They want everyone to feel like they belong, no matter how fast they are. Their focus is on bringing people together through a shared love of running.

Every event at Community Track Club is about bringing people together. They often invite guest hosts, like top athletes and coaches from around South Africa, to lead sessions. This gives regular runners a chance to learn from the best and helps everyone grow together as part of Cape Town’s running community.

The heart of Community Track Club is their track meet every six weeks at Green Point Athletic Stadium. They split runners into six groups based on 5km times, so everyone has a spot, whether you’re fast or just starting out. These events are all about having fun, getting a good workout, and building a supportive community.

Community Track Club welcomes all Cape Town runners, no matter your speed or experience. If you want to try running on a world-class track with a friendly group, check out their social media for updates on the next event.

Community Track Club is just one part of Cape Town’s lively running scene. There are lots of other groups too, like Must Love Hills for trail runners, Running Late Club for those who mix running with social events, The Nine Four for breaking down barriers, and Mindset Movement for personal growth. Together, they make running in Cape Town exciting and welcoming.

Cape Town is a city full of contrasts, with Table Mountain meeting the Atlantic Ocean. Its beautiful and varied landscape is the perfect setting for a year-round running culture that brings in runners from everywhere.

Running in Cape Town is always exciting, with so many great routes to choose from. Sea Point Promenade is perfect for a flat, scenic run along the ocean. If you want a challenge, try the trails on Lion’s Head or Table Mountain for amazing views and tough climbs.

Cape Town has some legendary running events. The Two Oceans Marathon is famous for its beautiful route around the Cape Peninsula. The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is a fast, flat race through the city’s streets, and trail runners can take on the tough Ultra-Trail Cape Town in the mountains.
