Welcome to South Africa! Starting in the afternoon, we will transfer you from Cape Town Airport to the RUNHAUS for the week, just minutes from the beach with the Twelve Apostles mountain range as your backdrop. Settle in, explore the villa, and meet the group before we head out for an easy shakeout run along the coast. Back at the villa, a family dinner wraps up the first evening.
Daily Distance: 5-8km
We start the trip properly with a morning run through one of Cape Town’s most iconic landscapes – a route that takes in dramatic coastal and mountain views in equal measure. After lunch and some downtime at the villa, the afternoon is yours to take in the sights around the bay – the V&A Waterfront, the harbour, and the energy of one of the world’s great cities. Back to the villa for a relaxed family dinner.
Daily Distance: 8-12km
Today is the bucket-list moment. We make our way to the base of Table Mountain for a hike to the summit – one of the most iconic natural landmarks on earth. The views from the top stretch across the Cape Peninsula, the Atlantic, and the city below. After the descent, we return to the villa for a well-earned rest, an easy run, and a relaxed dinner evening.
Daily Distance: 5-8km
We rise early for a quick morning run together as the sun rises before a full day out of Cape Town, heading to one of the region’s Big Five game reserves for a guided drive safari. Lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalos – the experience speaks for itself. This is a full day away from the villa, returning in the evening for dinner.
Daily Distance: 5-8km
We head out this morning for a track session, to help push each further in an amazing setting. Run your own way or follow one of our guided interval sessions, ran as a group, with an emphasis or running it at your own pace. After lunch, the afternoon is yours – recover at the villa after a few big days, explore Camps Bay beach, or simply take in the surroundings at leisure.
Daily Distance: 5-15km
A final morning run along the coast, taking in some of the Cape Peninsula’s most spectacular scenery. After lunch and time to freshen up, we head over to Boulder’s Beach, just a short trip outside of Cape Town to visit the African Penguins. We return to the villa for the final evening together, dressing up nice, and a celebration dinner to close the week.
Daily Distance: 6-10km
A slow, relaxed final breakfast and morning run together at the villa before packing up and transferring to Cape Town Airport. A week of running, adventure, and connection in one of the most extraordinary places on earth, and the start of a friendship group you’ll take home with you.

RUNHAUS trips are designed for people in their 20s and 30s who want to combine travel, running, and meeting new people in a relaxed but active environment.
This trip hosts around 12 guests – small enough to feel personal, big enough for a community.
Yes! Before departure, we’ll open a group chat so you can meet everyone, ask questions, and get excited for the week.
Yep! We always offer multiple dates around the same period at the same villa.
No – flights are not included. This gives you full flexibility to choose the airports, times, and prices that work best for you.
The trip has a clear structure, but plenty of downtime. You’ll run, explore, and eat together – but also have hours each day to unwind, swim, nap, or enjoy the villa.
Prices vary based on room type e.g. a shared twin room costs less than a private room at solo occupancy. Once the trip is live, all prices will be available.
Not at all! Everything included in the price is clearly listed. Optional add-on activities and meals not included will always be communicated upfront.
Expect a mix of scenic road routes, coastal paths, forest trails, and viewpoint climbs – each handpicked to show off the best of the destination. All days include one guided run, ranging from 5-20 km, with optional extra runs for those who want more. Some days are easy shakeouts, others include tempo sections or gradual trail climbs, and there’s always the RUNHAUS interval track session to push each other further.
Our trips are welcoming and supportive, but they are running holidays – not beginners’ retreats – and are designed for the regular runner who trains consistently. You should be familiar with longer distances, comfortable running in warm temperatures, and tackling light elevation. If you can run 15km at an easy pace, and usually train a few times per week, then you’re ready. Faster runners will have space and encouragement to push; steadier runners won’t get left behind.
Each trip has its own selection of routes; forest trails, coastal paths, mountain viewpoints, road routes, and local town loops. Expect a mix of terrain and scenery throughout the week.
Absolutely. Most, if not all, runs will have two guides – allowing for different paces and ensuring everyone is supported.
No – all runs are completely optional. Our routes are designed to suit a wide range of abilities, so you’re always free to take it easier, walk instead, or sit out a session entirely. It’s your trip, and you can choose what feels right for you each day.
The daily distance refers to the planned run length for that day, and doesn’t include any additional hiking distances. Many runs do not have a fixed distance because they’re designed to be flexible – allowing each person to choose the pace and distance that suits them, while still starting and finishing together as a group.
Once your place is secured, we’ll send you a detailed guide with recommended flight times that align with our pick-up and drop-off window.
We’ll share exact meeting points for both the airport and city pickup locations closer to the trip date but in plenty of advance. There will be a pick-up at Geneva airport in the afternoon, and then a quick pick-up in Geneva city centre afterwards.
We’ll send you a full packing list, covering running kit, villa essentials, and optional items depending on the activities available once booked in
Rooms are assigned on arrival based on your booking type and a pre-trip questionnaire you will be asked to fill out once your spot is secured.
You’ll share with another guest of the same sex who has a similar profile based on your questionnaire. We do our best to pair people thoughtfully.
If there are any issues, speak to us. We’ll always try to find a solution that makes both guests comfortable.
Most rooms share bathrooms unless the room is specifically listed as having an ensuite.
Most meals are included and served family-style: big villa breakfasts, build-your-own spreads, fresh ingredients, pastas, grains, salads, fruits, meats, cheeses, and plenty of snacks. Our aim is simple – good food, lots of it, shared together.
You’ll have the chance to explore local restaurants for those meals. We’ll provide recommendations and coordinate group options.
Yes. You will be able to let us know on your booking and we’ll reach out before the trip to confirm details. We always ensure there’s plenty for you to eat.
We don’t supply drinks as part of the trip, though water is always available at the villa. You’re absolutely welcome to buy your own drinks and bring them along; just note that fridge space may be limited! Alcohol isn’t provided, but it’s not discouraged. If you’d like to pick some up, the trip leads will help coordinate a stop or group purchase once everyone arrives. Enjoy responsibly, relax, and make the trip feel like the one you want.
You can secure your spot with a deposit. The remaining balance is due three months before the trip.
Prices depend on your room type. Double rooms (solo or shared with a friend/partner), shared twins, and different villa layouts all have different rates. Full pricing is shown when each trip is live.
Yes absolutely – your money is not touched until your trip is completed. Please see our full terms and conditions for details.
