Nearly 300 people run around The Campus each week for a fun, casual run-at-your-own-pace event.
The event, myrun has been held at the Bryanston venue for a year and offers 2.5km and 5km free runs at 8am every Sunday.
Young and old, fit and unfit alike run and walk the two (2.5km) and four (5km) laps around the venue. Some take their dogs while some push their babies in prams.

This while the more serious runners push themselves to finish in the best time they possibly can.
“Myrun is growing at The Campus and attracts a very varied set of ages and fitness levels,” said myrun managing director, Leigh Buckle.

“Just like at all our venues, The Campus sees infants as well as people in their 80s. This is because it has the shorter 2.5km run that can be done by nearly anyone.”

Buckle added that The Campus had been a successful venue for the free run because it was very central, surrounded by residential areas, and the route was a flat and level paved road.
To run a myrun, community members need to register at the location prior to the run and purchase an electronic wristband for a once-off fee of R50, which will record the time of the runner each week and send them their time electronically.

The fee is not charged again and every run is free.
