Why Tuesday Night Runs in Hout Bay Are the Best Way to Start Your Week

Written By Gabriella Lupini

There’s something special about watching the sun dip behind the mountains while the community gathers at Beach Bar – Velocity Gym for our weekly Tuesday run. Whether you’re training hard, starting your fitness journey, or simply craving fresh air after a long workday, the Hout Bay Harriers offers a space that feels like home.

A Route for Every Runner

Our weekly runs are designed to be inclusive and enjoyable. We usually offer:

  • A 5km social loop — perfect for easing back into exercise, walking intervals, or just having a chat.

  • A faster 7–10km option — ideal for those wanting a challenge or building up for races.

No one runs alone. We regroup, encourage, and support one another — whether you’re chasing a PB or taking it slow.

The Atmosphere That Sets Us Apart

Running clubs can sometimes feel intimidating.
Not here.

Hout Bay Harriers is a mix of young professionals, seasoned runners, weekend warriors, and people rediscovering their love for movement. You’ll find:

  • Friendly faces who remember your name

  • Post-run conversations at the Beach Bar

  • A community that genuinely cares

  • Regular chances to meet new people in Hout Bay

It’s not just a run — it’s connection, mental health, and fresh ocean air rolled into one.
