Happy October, Leopards! 🐆

As we head into warmer months and longer days, we have a stacked calendar to keep you busy 🚀

Tuesday morning Bakery Runs from @southyeaster are warming up and offering some stunning sunrises 🌅

For our Thursday trail runs, we're going to recce a few of the small yet iconic sections for UTCT, including parts of Chapmans Peak, Kloof Corner + Contour, and Suther Peak ⛰️ join us at 17:45 for 18:00 to suss out some of these sections in advance of the race - Suther (especially) can be a nasty surprise if you have never done it before!

We're excited to relaunch our @sealandgear Saturday runs from The Campus, and on 17/10 we'll be linking up with the @slowandsteadycpt crew, to bring you either a road or trail option 🌊

We're also back with one of our favourite events, the Beer Mile, for a halloween, trail edition on 31/10 this time round - we can't wait to share more about this next week! 🍻

On Monday 5 October, we'll be launching the LEAP training crew - creating a space for you to train and connect with others while working towards similar goals, offering you up to 8 sessions per week led by certified running coaches at a ridiculously low price point.
