Right in the heart of Cape Town, something new happened for runners. Erin and Mike started Community Track Club in January 2023 to make track running accessible to everyone, not just the fastest. Their goal is simple: to let anyone run in the Stadium and feel comfortable. Every six weeks, they host a track meet with different pace groups, guest coaches, and a focus on making sure everyone feels included and has a good time.

The Nine Four is a remarkable and deeply meaningful running club based in Cape Town, South Africa. Founded in 2013 by Paul, the crew's name is a powerful tribute to 1994, the year South Africa became a democratic state. Their core mission is to embody the spirit of the new nation by creating a diverse and inclusive community that brings together people from all backgrounds, including those who were previously considered "illegal" in the old South Africa. They are a tight-knit family of "unlikely individuals" who have come together to be better, using running as the golden thread that ties them together.
