Which Blocktober WhatsApp group should I join?

Different Blocktober activities use different WhatsApp groups for updates, changes and
coordination.

You only need to join the groups relevant to the activities you take part in.

• General Blocktober WhatsApp group – the main Blocktober group for general updates, new blog posts, photos and other Blocktober news, as well as coordination regarding most activities, including the regular walks, rides, runs and swims;

• Walk Whatsapp Group - used for all Blockhouse walks;

• Time Trial WhatsApp group – used for the Tuesday Blockhouse time-trial runs and cycles;

• Swim WhatsApp group – for the Camps Bay tidal-pool and Atlantic sea swims;

• Kenya-Cycle WhatsApp group – for Blocktober cycling activities in Kenya.

If you are unsure which group applies to the specific activities you are joining, go to the Blocktober 2026 Activity Roster, then find your chosen activity on the Walk, Run, Cycle or Swim tab and tap the WhatsApp link on that row. It will take you to the group linked to that activity.

Note that joining an activity on the roster does not add you to a WhatsApp group. To join the WhatApp group you need to tap the WhatsApp link next to your chosen activity - for updates and coordination with others taking part in that activity.

Before setting off, check the group for any last-minute changes to the time, meeting point or other arrangements.
