"It's a big event, but it has small event culture and values. I don't know if I've experienced that anywhere else in the world." Kane Reilly

In this special bonus episode of The RMB UTCT (The People We Run With) Series, Host Dean Horwitz is joined by local legend Kane Reilly. As both an elite athlete and a key figure behind the scenes, Kane offers a unique perspective on the race's evolution from a "gazebo under a tree" to a global stage, and why he is finally lining up for the "loaded" PT55km on home soil.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:

✅ Kane's journey from running up to the Blockhouse during high school lunch breaks to lining up against the world's best in his "backyard."

✅How he navigates a decade of working "behind the scenes" with the ambition to finally give the race a "proper crack" as an athlete this year.

✅ His take on the "Big Event, Small Culture" phenomenon—mixing world-class infrastructure with a vibe where friends share a beer at the finish line.

✅ The deep satisfaction he gets from watching international teammates experience the unique "interplay" of mountain, city, and ocean for the first time.

Whether you are lining up for the "loaded" PT55km or cheering from the sidelines, this episode is a celebration of the unique 'small event soul' that makes Cape Town a world-class stage.
