Kloof and Highway SPCA’s Brigitte Ferguson said the event is designed for all fitness levels and encourages participants to take along family, friends and furry Valentines for a morning of outdoor fun.

“There will be fantastic prizes for both runners and their dogs, as well as exciting lucky draw prizes up for grabs.

“Adding extra value to the morning, Hayley Wood from Hill’s Pet Nutrition will be on site to chat with participants, offering expert advice and answering questions on pet nutrition and well-being,” said Ferguson.

After completing the run or walk, participants are invited to relax, enjoy breakfast, and explore the shops at Fig Tree Farm.
