To give you a basic rundown, on a normal week there are road club runs at 6pm on a Tuesday and Thursday from Durbanville Golf Club with distance options from around 5km to 15km as well as suitable group training programmes as may be required from time to time led by our experienced club members. There is also a longer run of between 20 and 30km on a Sunday. The Sunday runs start at 6am during the summer and 7am in the winter months and routes are updated on a weekly basis through Facebook and Whatsapp.

For the trail running side of Durbac there are pack runs on a Wednesday evening starting at 5.30/5.45pm. They are on alternating farms in the Durbanville area Magic Forest, Altydgedacht and Meerendal. Updates are posted via the Durbac members Facebook page as well as the Durbanville AC trail page (https://www.facebook.com/DurbanvilleACTrail) and WhatsApp. There are also sometimes weekend pack runs organised around the Western Cape and full details of these are also communicated via Facebook and WhatsApp.

Leave Word. Tell somebody or leave a note at home about where you plan to go and how long you plan to be out. That way your loved ones will know to come look for you if needed. Identify yourself. Run with proper ID, and carry a cell phone with emergency contacts taped to its back. Have a look at the iceid (in case of emergency identification) products.

Be seen. Wear high-visibility, brightly coloured clothing. When out near or after sunset, reflective materials are a must. (If you don't own reflective clothing, a lightweight reflective vest is a great option.) And use a headlamp or handheld light so you can see where you're going, and drivers can see you. The light should have a bright LED (drivers see blinking red as a hazard).

Mind your manners. At a stop sign or light, wait for the driver to wave you through—then acknowledge with your own polite wave. That acknowledgement will make the driver feel more inclined to do it again for the next walker or runner. Use hand signals (as you would on a bicycle) to show which way you plan to turn.

Pretend you're invisible. Don’t assume a driver sees you. In fact, imagine that a driver can’t see you, and behave accordingly.

Face traffic. It’s easier to see, and react to, oncoming cars. And cars will see you more clearly too.

Unplug your ears. Avoid using iPods or wearing headphonesyou need to be able to hear approaching vehicles. If you do use headphones, run with the volume low and just one earbud in.

Watch the hills. When they crest hills, drivers' vision can suddenly be impaired by factors like sun glare or backdrops. Beware of high-risk drivers. Steer clear of potential problem areas like entrances to parking lots, bars, and restaurants, where there may be heavy traffic.

Watch for early birds and night owls. At odd hours be extra careful. Early in the morning and very late at night, people may be overtired and not as attentive.

Run with friends. Whenever possible run in groups. Have a friend meet you for a run, join a club run, or join a one of the many training groups in the Durbanville area. New to the club? Get to know your club mates and ask about training groups that you could join.
