Event information
Couch Potato Run Club's Sea Point evening programme is an 8-week Couch to 5K course for complete beginners, starting from the Mouille Point Lighthouse on the Sea Point promenade. The programme is designed for people who have never run before or who feel running is not for them, with no minimum speed or fitness requirement.
Sessions are run-walk intervals led by coaches who run alongside participants rather than from the sidelines. Walk breaks are built into every session, and no one is left behind; the group uses a regrouping approach to keep all participants together. In the event of heavy rain or winds above 35km/h, sessions are rescheduled within the same week. Each participant who completes the programme receives a finisher's medal and coffee voucher.
Couch Potato Run Club operates programmes across multiple Cape Town suburbs including Sea Point, Tokai, Bergvliet, Hout Bay, Durbanville and Welgemoed, as well as in Somerset West. The Sea Point route follows the promenade between the Mouille Point Lighthouse and the wider Sea Point seafront. One of Cape Town's most-used recreational running paths. Spots are limited; early booking is recommended.
