Joining the Nedbank Running Club- Johannesburg

Any South African runner intending to run road races is advised to join a running club and this is particularly the case when it comes to running marathons and ultra marathons.
The newly formed Nedbank Johannesburg running club is an ideal club for the more social runner. It has a relaxed and friendly character, and while faster runners are welcome, the bulk of our members are social runners with serious goals.
Our headquarters are based at the George Lea Park in Sandton. On Wednesday evenings the club holds a 5kilometre time trial run on a fast course on the streets around the park (5:30pm in Winter 5:45pm in Summer). Many runners stay on after the time trial to enjoy a few drinks, eat a meal and socialize. A number of social events take place at the club. These include prize givings and pre Two Oceans and Comrades talks. Organised training runs leave from the club during the week. These runs are between 8 and 12kilometres in length
 Each year the club has a trip away to a marathon or race outside Gauteng.This year the club ran the Clarens marathon in the Free State.
Inexperienced runners are given training advice and written training programmes. These include all distances from 10kilometres to the Comrades marathon.
The club is one of the cheapest to join. At the start of each year membership costs R220. (R170 for Nedbank employees). At this late stage of the year membership costs R170     This fee includes license numbers. Membership gives a runner access to the other Nedbank clubs in South Africa and the trendy green club colours are a feature of races all over South Africa
