YGRC Kgale Hill Climb

Yellow Giraffe Running Club

The YGRC Kgale Hill Climb is a Labour Day community hike hosted by Yellow Giraffe Running Club.

This event brings people together for a social climb at Kgale Hill, one of Gaborone’s most iconic outdoor spaces. The focus is on movement, connection, and starting the public holiday in a relaxed, active way. Whether you walk, hike, or take it slow, this climb is open to everyone.

The pace is supportive and non‑competitive. This is not a race and not a timed challenge. It is about showing up, enjoying the climb, taking in the views, and sharing the experience with others.

After the climb, participants head to The Yellow Giraffe for breakfast and The YGRC community vibe.
