The Growler is an annual charity club run through Joburg's shoddiest streets.

We raise funds for the Bethany Women and Children's Shelter in Bertrams by collecting bank notes at the start and end of the run, and EFTs. At the event in 2023 we collected just over R57,000.

Please join us for the 16th annual running of The Growler on Sunday 1 December 2024 at 6h00 am, from 55 St Patrick Road in Upper Houghton.

There is no event registration, just pitch up and run. Secure parking at the start. There are two petrol station stops on route, and a water stop at Bethany. Free drinks and coffee at the end!
