Watercrest Wild Run

The Watercrest Wild Run, set to take place on March 14, 2027, promises an exhilarating day out for runners and families alike. The event transforms the bustling Watercrest Mall into a vibrant hub of energy and excitement, offering both a challenging half marathon and a family-friendly 11km race.
Participants in the flagship 21.1km Half Marathon will traverse through scenic routes in the Waterfall area, experiencing varied terrain that includes winding roads and open stretches, all while being immersed in an electrifying community atmosphere. The event's central hub at Watercrest Mall buzzes with activities such as food stalls, live music performances, and interactive entertainment for spectators.
For those seeking a more manageable challenge, the 11km Wild Run offers a fast finish along with stunning views of the local landscape. Both races start and end in the heart of Watercrest Mall, making it easy to join in or cheer on runners from the sidelines.
Early Bird entrants receive an exclusive Custom Running Race T-shirt worth R400 as part of their race pack, adding value for those who sign up early. The event promises a memorable day filled with community spirit and athletic camaraderie.
Participants can look forward to free parking at Watercrest Mall, water tables strategically placed along both routes, and goodie bags provided to all entrants. Race registration and packet pickup will be available on March 13th from 10am to 4pm and again the morning of the race starting at 5am until just before the races begin.
Substitutions or changes in distance must be made during Saturday's registration with a R50 administrative fee. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to experience the Watercrest Wild Run, where every runner is celebrated for their effort and determination.
