The annual event, which is celebrating its 34th birthday unofficially earmarks the start of the festive season in the City and is expected to attract in excess of 10 000 fun walkers, runners and skaters this year who will strut their way from Darling Street at the Grand Parade for 4km through the side streets of the Cape Town CBD and back to the starting point again.

Participants showcasing their creative costume design talents can enter the dress-up competition which is held at 17:30 prior to the start of the run/walk and afterwards participants can party it up to local musical artists such as Tasha B, Ameen Harron, Che-V, The Unknown, DJ Uncle Cal and Africa Ablaze at the Twilight Festival on the Grand Parade.

Families and friends join forces to enter as teams as well as schools, NGOs, municipal departments, large corporations and small businesses.

All surplus funds from this year’s Twilight Run will be invested into education sectors, to help equip scholars going into the 2017 school year.
