Edenvale parkrun

Well organized and nicely marked out. Great walk

The community make it worth the while and the volunteers ensure that it is neat each week.

Good to try another Parkrun venue

Lots of encouragement from the organisers ensure everyone enjoys their walk/run. The park is clean and the grass is cut before each event.

This was my first parkrun. The organisers are energetic and enthusiastic. It's more difficult than being on the road but you're with a great crowd that makes it fun

My family and I were visiting South African family. We are from England. My son and wife decided to run this Parkrun and they had a great time. Betsy the Parkrun Organiser was very welcoming and had time to chat to everyone. Great Parkrun. Highly Recommend.

Take Two. Edenvale Parkrun moved so we’ve done 2 different Edenvale parkruns - unfortunately they don’t count as two different runs. The first location was under the power lines which run across the N3 from a Kelvin Power station, and the run was parallel to the N3 in open veld, more a bike track. Many of the existing photos you see when on GoogleMaps are from that parkrun. But the new Edenvale parkrun, in Marais Steyn park, is completely different. While it does some doubling up it does not loose one’s interest, with some ups and downs, passing reed wetland over park grass areas, past the Jan Smuts Scout Hall and Ridge Tennis Club, passing walls with interesting graffiti on, then loops back and down again, passing the start. It certainly is more interesting than the original venue and a well plotted out course. With the summer rains the grass, though cut, would make it difficult for prams, but great for dogs. There are ablutions at a garage nearby so come prepared. They provided water for both runners and dogs, which shows their caring touch. Also a first for me was seeing run and walk Pacers, with a sign on their backs, one was <30 min another <55min. Well done and thanks to Edenvale Volunteers. We headed for the Red Door coffee shop afterwards for breakfast - highly recommended.

Not the prettiest Parkrun, but what an awesome volunteer team managing this run! Course is a proper trail, albeit surrounded by pylons. Not the best course for a PB as it is a double lapper with limited opportunity to get past slower runners on the second lap.

A great parkrun with a passionate core group of volunteers. The course is well maintained and quite interesting.
