The community race raised R18 680 for animals in the SPCA’s care, marking a significant increase on last year’s total.
Cape Town, South Africa (11 November 2026) – The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has received a welcome boost after this year’s ARD 3 Vlei Race raised R18 680 for animals in its care.
Held on Sunday, 8 November, the event once again selected the organisation as one of its beneficiaries, with runners and supporters contributing towards its animal welfare work.
Starting at Fairmount Senior Secondary School in Grassy Park, the race offered participants two options: a 5km family fun run and walk, or a 10km route through some of the area’s scenic surroundings.
The longer route took runners past the wetlands of Princess Vlei, Rondevlei and Zeekoevlei, as well as the SPCA grounds in Grassy Park.
The organisation thanked ARD Athletics Club for its continued support, as well as participants who made donations during registration through Peak Timing and those who visited its stand on race day.
The R18 680 raised represents a 290% increase on last year’s contribution, providing valuable support for the animals receiving care at the SPCA.
The SPCA says contributions such as these play an important role in its efforts to care for vulnerable animals and build a more compassionate community.
