5km & 10km Fun Run / Walk

We’re teaming up with Under Armour for a 5km & 10km Fun Run / Walk at D’Aria Wine Farm, Durbanville.

This one’s different 👇

We’re hosting a race designed for walkers, first-timers, and steady runners.

Pace pressure? None.

Vibes? High.

Too many races celebrate the front of the pack. We celebrate the first step.

Every design choice protects confidence, not just pace.

Because the problem is real:

🚫 Intimidating cut-offs

🚫 “Speed talk”

🚫 Marketing that only shows elites

First-timers often feel like outsiders - not athletes. So we’re flipping that culture 💥

✅ Slower waves

✅ Generous cut-offs

✅ Visible welcome

A race built for the courage to show up, not for times. For everyday people becoming runners.

Too many races celebrate the front of the pack. We celebrate the first step. This event is built for walkers, first-timers, and steady runners who want belonging over bragging rights. Every design choice protects confidence, not just pace.

Couch Potato Run Club was created to change the way people experience running - from something intimidating and exclusive to something joyful, achievable & deeply human. Our mission is to help complete beginners take their first steps into movement in a way that feels safe, supported, and actually fun. We know what it’s like to feel like the slowest one, to doubt whether you belong, or to think running just isn’t for you - and that’s exactly why we exist.

We believe that running should be about more than pace or performance. It should be about showing up for yourself, discovering what your body can do, and feeling connected - to a community, to your goals, and to the process. When you take away the pressure to perform, you make space for the joy of progress, no matter how small or slow it might feel at first.
