The History

Ryan (running with staffie Branson), Noah (running with staffie Bovril) and Crute met at a parkrun and the trail dawgs was born. The trail dawgs enjoy a parkrun every now and again and go for brekkies after on occasion.

Where we are now

The Trail dawgs is an informal group of mostly trail runners in Muizenberg, who organise inclusive runs mostly starting from our “Clubhouse” the Striped Horse on the corner of York Road (Mountain side of Muizenberg Station). Of course inclusive also covers our four legged friends who are always more than welcome! 

The Trail dawgs was formed from a group of friends running together in the Muizies mountains. We are not a sponsored, or sanctioned club but we do our best to keep things as organised as possible!

We have a wide range of members and the runs are intended to cater for all trail runners, and usually have 3 or 4 run groups for different speeds, from 7km to 15km. The slower groups are happy to wait for those who run at a slower pace. Besides what's the point of rushing through some of the most beautiful mountains in Cape Town :)

At the Trail Dawgs, we like to keep things interesting with regular challenges around our mountain. 

We will post regular challenges here for you to take part in, and encourage you to post your results for some spectacular prizes!
