A RACE TO SHINE A LIGHT
ON OUR BEAUTIFUL WEST COAST
SUPPORTED BY
A COASTAL TRAIL RUN ALONG THE WEST COAST
Run West (PBO) is a public benefit organisation that uses trail running and outdoor events to promote environmental awareness, healthy living, and community connection along South Africa’s West Coast.
We believe in the power of movement to connect people with nature. Through inclusive events and youth-focused programs, especially in partnership with NEST, we support environmental education, encourage active lifestyles, and help protect the natural beauty of our region.
Run West is about more than just running. It’s about shining a positive light on our coastline, a light that will remain on, guiding future generations toward care, respect, and responsible stewardship of the land.

FROM TRAILS TO CLASSROOMS
The proceeds from Run West have laid the foundation for NEST’s educational programmes, ensuring that the energy from every step taken continues to inspire change and create impact along the West Coast.
At NEST, we believe that true environmental change begins with understanding - and understanding begins with connection. Our approach nurtures curiosity, creativity, and care through hands-on, heart-led learning. Every lesson, workshop, and interaction is designed to connect individuals - especially children - with the natural world that surrounds them along the West Coast of South Africa.
