The Road Running section was established at the end of 1994 and became an official section of Western Province Cricket Club at the 1998 AGM. We are officially affiliated to Athletics South Africa as well as Western Province Athletics Road Running.

 

We see members of the section participating in road and trial running events locally and nationally. We have even had some brave Runners running in International road races in London and New York.

 

The section also host the Annual Landmarks Half Marathon and 6km fun run in November.

 

DREAM RUNS

 

If you have not yet been on a 'Dream Run', you are missing out on a great running experience. 'Dream Runs' take place at least once a quarter, and take runners on unusual and less trodden routes. They aim to add a new dimension to our running and have a break from our usual tar pounding routes. All you need are two legs, running shoes, an appreciation for the outdoors and a slightly adventurous spirit. It is not an elitist group, but a longer club run with a difference. Non-members are welcome - we even have a few VOB, Celtics and West Coast 'regulars'. To date we have done routes in Newlands and Cecilia Forests, the Constantia Greenbelt, Signal Hill, Redhill and have even been up around the dams on top of Table Mountain. This year we plan to have at least six 'Dream Runs' - watch this site, your e-mail and the Running Section notice board (at the Sports Centre) for details.

Running Time Trial

 

All welcome, every Thursday at 5:45pm. Starting from The Sports Centre, Ave De Mist, car park area.

See you there.
