Run West
About
Run West is a coastal trail running event set along South Africa’s West Coast, connecting the communities of Strandfontein, Papendorp, and Doringbaai.
With distances including a 21km, 10km, and 2km family run, the event offers a unique mix of beach running, coastal trails, and rugged cliffside routes - showcasing both the raw beauty and environmental challenges of the region.
More than just a race, Run West is a non-profit initiative focused on environmental awareness, community upliftment, and education through NEST, creating opportunities for local communities and inspiring a deeper connection to the coastline.
Whether you’re chasing a challenge or simply showing up for the experience, Run West invites you to be part of something meaningful on and beyond the trail.
