You Are Knot Alone

Our Story

When a well-known member of our running community tragically died by suicide, we were reminded of the critical need to talk openly about mental health — especially among runners.

Running might look like a solo sport, but for many of us it’s a lifeline: a way to connect, to share miles and moments with our tribe. That’s why we created the green laces — a small but powerful reminder that help is always available.

Together with SADAG (South African Depression and Anxiety Group), we’re raising both funds and awareness for the resources available to those battling depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Check on your running partner. Check on yourself.
And remember… You Are Knot Alone.

Why Green Laces?

A small detail, a big message.

Bright green shoelaces stand out on purpose. They’re a simple reminder that no one runs alone, and that mental health matters just as much as physical strength.

How It Works

Every step makes a difference.

  • Buy a 10-pack of green laces (R80 each)
