Started in May 2024 with our very first programme in Tokai, Cape Town, (btw, this group still runs together to this day!) we’ve grown into a community that’s now spreading across the whole of South Africa. Our mission? To make running less “oh no!” and more “heck yes!” We’re here to prove that running doesn’t have to be intimidating, and you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to join in.

​

We’re all about taking it slow and steady, one step (or jog or shuffle) at a time. Whether you’re walking, running intervals, or slowly mastering your pace, we’ll guide you from zero fitness to running your first 5K—no sweat (well, maybe a little sweat). And the best part? You’ll do it with a crew who’s there to cheer you on every step of the way!

​

Running isn't a solo sport here; it’s all about the squad. At Couch Potato Run Club, we’re a community that turns every run into a group hangout, complete with laughs, motivation, and plenty of “I can’t believe I’m doing this!” moments. Ready to join the fun? Get off the couch, lace up your shoes, and let’s make running the best decision you’ve ever made!
