Yeah it’s a superb route with great views of the mountain to one side and the ocean to the other! It’s ‘the’ running spot in Cape Town next to the Promenade in Sea Point;) thanks as always for the support!

Having run this particularly picturesque route both ways countless times, I knew I had to get it on film! It was great catching the hustle and bustle of Clifton via Victoria Road with what seemed like endless construction going on, but was treated to some stellar views on a crystal clear day and ending up on Camps Bay Beach was the cherry on top. Hope you enjoy tagging along!

The start of this trail is a steep descent down Plum Pudding Hill with expansive views of the city on a near perfect day, moving along another contour path on Table Mountain all the way down to the road! Really enjoyed this run and it was honestly the first time I ran this specific contour and was treated to some pretty majestic views. All in all, a fun outing and hope you enjoy tagging along!

Is there a fast way to get to the blockhouse? Or would I just have to park off at Rhodes memorial and walk up? And how long does the route extend out for? Would be cool to do a longer run. Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful. Gonna give it a go sometime this weekend.

Walking up from Rhodes Memorial is the fastest way to get to the Blockhouse. The contour that I took in this video can take you as far as Kloof Nek which would extend the run to about 7km one way and can take the same road back to your car for a monster run. Have a rad time out on the trails and stay safe, thanks for watching and your comment!

This is the first run that I managed to record for over 1hr - it was incredibly tough - through the sugarcane fields of South Africa's East Coast in a province called KwaZulu-Natal. I moved along a sub-tropical forest in the Zinkwazi area with amazing views of the sugarcane fields, the ocean in the distance and even ran into two troops of monkeys that scampered away quickly when I reached them. Check out 26:58 for a glimpse of them! It was a special run and I hope you enjoy tagging along!

This was a stunner of a run that I've wanted to film for a long time, but always put it off as the road can get super busy and it's hard to concentrate when recording and for safety reasons! But, I ended up pulling the trigger and getting it done and was treated to such beautiful views of Table Mountain National Park to one side and the Atlantic ocean on the other. Highly recommend this run/coastal drive and hope you enjoy tagging along!

Hope you enjoy tagging along!

This was such a lekker run on a pristine winter morning with the sun blazing overhead and spoiled with incredible views of Cape Town city and the beauty of Table Mountain throughout. The latter half of the run was an uphill battle, but "summiting" the start of the Plum Pudding MTB trail with its expansive view of the greater Cape Town area and Southern Suburbs shrouded in fog was a treat. Hope you all enjoyed tagging along!

One of my new favourite trails along the imposing mass of Table Mountain via the jeep track, traversing ups and downs, twists and turns, crossing streams and baking in the winter morning sun. This was hands down the hardest run I've recorded to date, especially on the return with a heavy uphill battle holding my filming equipment in one hand and trying to push myself ahead with the other hand, but super stoked with the result! Hope you enjoy tagging along!

Green Point Park by the DHL stadium is one of my favourite places in Cape Town for two reasons. The park is a perfect escape from city life with its luscious landscaping and water features where nature and humans come together in harmony.
