Heritage Run with Goodwood Harriers

The Nine Four was born in 2013 when photographer Paul returned to Cape Town inspired by a running crew he'd joined in Berlin. He founded the crew with friends, naming it after 1994, the year South Africa became a democracy. What started as a small group has grown into a unlikely mix of members from across Cape Town's communities, united by a single belief: ego stays at the door. At The Nine Four, running becomes a space free from status and pressure, where society's divisions dissolve into shared effort and connection. Two to three times a week, members gather at the HQ to chase a white rabbit through one of the world's most spectacular running cities, together.

Founded in September 2020 by Kyle, Mindset Movement is a Cape Town running crew built on resilience, positivity, and personal transformation. Emerging during a challenging time, the crew now unites over 70 runners from diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to mental toughness and mutual support. Kyle’s inspiring journey—from overcoming addiction to conquering physical and mental challenges—shapes the crew’s ethos of “no negativity, no excuses, always give your best.” Mindset Movement offers six weekly sessions ranging from early morning runs to high-intensity training and scenic long runs that highlight Cape Town’s stunning landscapes, including iconic routes like the Sea Point Promenade and Table Mountain trails. Welcoming both locals and visitors, the crew fosters genuine community and personal growth through structured training and shared experiences. As part of Cape Town’s vibrant running culture, Mindset Movement stands out for its focus on endurance, kindness, and the transformative power of running together.
