The streets of Cape Town were alive with birthday buzz. 🐝

We celebrated 5 years the way this brand knows best. A 5km run with Ashraf Orrie and the vida e caffè team at Inospace Exchange, through the city that’s been with us since day one.

A celebration of health. A community in motion. Partners moving alongside us.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to run, and to the community that got us here. We’re just getting started. 🔥
