Klapperkop Road or Trail Run/Walk

Looking for an active way to spend your Sunday morning? The Klapperkop Road or Trail Run/Walk returns to Pretoria’s Klapperkop Nature Reserve on Sunday, 23 August 2026, with a choice of four distances across both road and trail routes.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, prefer a slower walk or want to take on a new outdoor challenge, the event offers 2km, 5km, 10km and 15km options. No racing licence is required, and all ages are welcome.

When: Sunday, 23 August 2026
Registration: From 06:30
Start: 07:00, with participants able to start between 07:00 and 08:00
Where: Klapperkop Nature Reserve, entrance via the Johann Rissik Drive gate, Groenkloof, Pretoria

Both road and trail options are available at each distance. The road routes stay within Klapperkop Nature Reserve rather than going onto public roads, while the trail routes offer a more off-road experience through the reserve.

Walking and hiking are also welcome across all four distances, provided participants finish by the 10:00 cut-off. The 15km route must start by 07:00.

Entry includes a marked route, water tables, a finisher medal, venue entry, parking and Vitality points. Snacks and drinks will also be available at the venue.

Whether you want to run, walk or simply challenge yourself to a new distance, the Klapperkop Run/Walk is a great way to get outdoors and start your Sunday with a little movement.
