Run/Walk For Life Melrose

15/09/2026

Important message from Run/Walk For Life CEO, Matthew Grossett.

Recent events in Kempton Park (and at the MyRun in Sandton) should force South Africa’s running and walking community to have a serious conversation about what “safety” actually means.

Our thoughts are first and foremost with the families and communities affected.

But these events also raise an uncomfortable question that those of us involved in organised exercise cannot afford to ignore:

When we tell runners and walkers that they are “safer in a group”, what are we actually doing to make that group safer?
