Hartspad Walk a Mile in Our Shoes - 20 September

Community Steps Together

The Hartspad Adventure Trails will be buzzing on 20 September 2025 as locals lace up for the “Walk a Mile in Our Shoes” charity event. The aim is simple: donate old school shoes, tekkies or sports shoes to help underprivileged learners in Potchefstroom.

The Event at a Glance

• Venue: Hartspad Adventure Trails, Welgegund Rd, Boskop, Potchefstroom

• Date: Saturday, 20 September 2025

• Time: 07:30 – 12:00 (start at 08h00 sharp)

• Entry Fee: R50 per person (tickets available online or at the door)

What’s on the Track

Participants can choose the 5km fun run or walk, open to all ages. For those who want to go further, there’s an optional “Extra Mile” a 1.6km stretch to be completed barefoot, driving home the message of what it means to go without shoes.

Added Incentives

There will be medals, rewards, and even freebies waiting at the finish line. After the effort, runners and walkers can stick around for a coffee and a light meal while catching up with friends or making new ones.

Shoe Donations

Anyone who can’t make the event but still wants to support the cause can drop off shoes at the donation boxes set up at Albuquerque Spur and Mooirivier McDonald’s between 1 September and 19 September 2025.

This isn’t just about clocking kilometres. Every pair of shoes donated means one less learner struggling to get through school without proper footwear. It’s a chance to run for fun, for community, and to give children a step forward.
