“Where Was This?": Spectacular Views From Cape Town Run Club Leave Ladies Wanting To Join

• A Cape Town content creator shared a video of her local run club that had women across South Africa suddenly feeling very motivated to start running
• The clip showed a group of toned and fit men and women having a great time together after their run
• Women flooded the comments, saying they were ready to lace up their running shoes and move to Cape Town

A Cape Town TikTok creator showed how the city's run club chills out on 11 December 2025. The scenes of all of the men shirtless had all single ladies forgetting about dating apps.

The group was a mix of men and women, all looking incredibly fit and in great shape after their run. The men especially caught attention, toned and muscular, laughing and hanging out after a hard run. The scenery around them in the Mother City didn't hurt either.

The surprising part was that women from across the country forgot all about the running part and zeroed in on everything else the clip had to offer. The comments turned into a full discussion about where to find these clubs, why Durban doesn't seem to have the same energy, and whether showing up without actually being able to run would still count as joining.
