Hope With Every Step Crave Run
In 2020, HOPE WITH EVERY STEP proved its power to find solutions, as two runners covered 600km over 17 days and raised R2,285,915 to help conquer child hunger. This year, they are inviting you to join them as they host the first real race Joburg has seen for a long time, the Hope with Every Step Crave Run!
All happening at one location and strictly controlled for safety and COVID-19 protocol compliance, there will be limited participation, a staggered start, mat-to-mat chip timing, with water points and on-route pacers, PLUS a really cool race tee and terrific prizes up for grabs!
It’s a race we know you have been waiting for! So, register now for the 10km or 21km race, OR if you prefer, you can still run remotely On Your Own.

With beautiful views of water holes, bird life, and steady hills that futures this will be a fast 5km/10km route and fun for the whole family to either run or walk. The @Jackal_Run is the perfect way to unwind from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg and enjoy running under the stars geared only with your headlight and running shoes.
Virtual Run & Cycle for Hope
Our 2020 event was incredibly successful, with over 2000 runners, walkers and cyclists taking part in our first-ever virtual event! Through contributions, we were able to provide 2000 Bibles to people in need, as well as 2000 literacy books specifically for children. That’s 4000 lives changed!
This year we want to go bigger and better! Our 2021 event continues to support the Bible Society’s goal to distribute 2 million Bibles in celebration of their 200th year.
This year we have spread our wings in many ways, one being offering you amazing merchandise that can be bought with your entry! Our tees are made of a moisture management fabric, perfect to use for your run or cycle, and our buffs are the ultimate accessory to use every day as we head into the colder season!
Tees are optional and priced at R165 and our buffs R60, delivery will be done through PAXI and all info will be collected at the time of entry! Medals will once again be Free of Charge, but you will need to cover the courier fee to get it to you. If you would like to order for more than one person, it’s no problem please just add all the merchandise to one entry so you only pay one delivery fee.
If you would like to get your tee and buff before race day you need to place your order before the 1st of July 2021, all entries received after that will only receive merchandise once the event has taken place.

The Virtual event aims to be inclusive for all walks of life, whether you want to do a family 5km walk or miss getting those long runs in, there is something for everyone! Make it a weekend for the whole family worldwide, click on your chosen distance below and Enter Today!

Cradle Moon MTB Series #1
Routes
4 Routes to choose from:
42 Km
The 42km Marathon distance is not for the faint-hearted. It’s technical and challenging which makes this distance a perfect final training run for runners who are training for the Sky Run 2019. The route features technical climbs and steeply descends, Forrest sections and beautiful open savannah stretches.
23 Km
The race features extra river frontage, multiple forests and rocky sections. The route winds away from the lake in the direction of Beyers Naude Drive, before heading back down to the new “Spookhuis” section.
14 Km
Fast-flowing tracks early into the route serve as the perfect way to get the blood pumping. This is the base route around the lodge with the best views of the cradle of humankind. Look out for Giraffe and zebra on the trail.
6 Km
Non-Technical being for those who want an easier ride. This is the perfect outing for the entire family to enjoy without having to break a sweat.
