The Rotary Club of Parys is putting on a Valentine's event with a difference. If candlelit dinners and overpriced chocolates aren't your thing, then lace up those takkies and join the Valentine’s Fun Run, Walk & Picnic at Vaal de Grace, Parys on 14 February. It’s the perfect way to get moving, have fun, and maybe even share a romantic moment—after catching your breath!
The Details
The event isn’t just for seasoned runners; whether you want to walk, jog, or sprint, there’s something for everyone. Participants can choose between a 2.5km or 4.9km route—just enough to get the heart rate up, but not so much that it ruins the picnic afterward.
Entry Fees:
R20 for kids under 12
R40 for kids over 12 & adults
Pre-entries are available at Plumtree & Candy Man, Parys Info & Tourism Office, or via WhatsApp at 064 516 0238.
Race Start Time
The race kicks off at 18:00, just in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset (and a well-deserved snack afterward).
The Picnic Vibes
After a bit of cardio, the picnic area is where the real magic happens. For R50, you can book a special picnic spot—bring your own snacks or order from your favourite local restaurant. No rules, just relaxation.
The Love Bunch & Sole Sisters
This year’s theme highlights the power of togetherness. Whether you’re running with a partner, your best mate, or your entire running crew, it’s all about supporting each other—because nothing says “I love you” like waiting for someone who’s out of breath.
The event celebrates The Love Bunch—a reminder that running, much like life, is easier when you stick together. And for the besties out there, the Sole Sisters and Buddies category proves that friendship is the ultimate love story.
The Valentine’s Fun Run, Walk & Picnic isn’t about speed or competition—it’s about enjoying the moment, making memories, and maybe, just maybe, impressing someone with your endurance (or at least your ability to still smile at the finish line).
So, grab your partner, bestie, or even a stranger who looks like they need a running buddy, and make this Valentine’s Day one to remember!
