Why Join our Running Club?

Being part of a running club offers numerous advantages for runners of all levels. Here are some key benefits you can enjoy as a club member:

🏃‍♂️ Fitness & Performance Benefits

Structured Training Plans – Access professional or experienced-led training sessions tailored to different goals—5K, 10K, half-marathons, etc. We offer from a Couch to 10K program right through to Ultra Running and Trail Running.
Accountability & Motivation – Training with a group helps you stay committed and pushes you to show up even when you’re not feeling it.
Improved Performance – Running with others—especially those slightly faster than you—helps improve pace and endurance. Experienced members often share their experience that may shortcut your own goals and experiences.

Supportive Community – Share experiences, challenges, and wins with like-minded runners who encourage and inspire each other.
Make New Friends – Our club is a great way to expand your social circle and meet people with similar goals and interests.
Group Events & Outings – We organize runs, social events, races, and even travel trips to participate in destination races.

Discounts on Gear & Races – Club members often get exclusive deals at local sports stores or reduced race entry fees. We have arranged a large discount for all gear at SportSA and we occasionally get other Club Deals.
Access to Club Facilities or Coaches – the club arranges facilities to train on as well as invites experts in the various fields like health and nutrition to give talks at the clubhouse.
Club Kit & Merchandise – Get to wear official club gear, which builds a sense of identity and belonging—plus it looks cool on race day!

Stress Relief & Mental Health Boost – Regular runs and the camaraderie of club life can be great for clearing your mind and managing stress.
Sense of Belonging – Being part of a group gives you something to look forward to and a shared identity.

Couch to 10k. This is a very popular area, where people are encouraged into regular fitness programs to improve their health. From people just wanting to walk to those trying to improve their speed over 10Km.
Ultra and Marathon Running. Over the years we have helped many runners get from a 21k into Ultra running their comrades or Washy as well as some other Trail Options. This program requires you to join specific groups dedicated to the process where club activities and options can be shared.
Healthy Running. We want to encourage our runners to take the pain and discomfort out of their running and learn to be more comfortable with their pace and goals in order to make running an enjoyable and social activity good for their health and well-being.
We want more leaders in our club. The club is run by volunteers that pay for their own memberships as well, so they are people that care about the club and its members. We are looking for more members to take part in leadership in the club, which is a sense of giving back to your community.
