The club that runs together.

We are the oldest running club in Walvis Bay. Every week we lace up and hit the road as a group. Every pace and every age is welcome here.

Welcome to the club

More than twenty years on the road together

We started in 2003 with a handful of friends and a stretch of coast road. Two decades later we are still here, still running, and still the oldest club in Walvis Bay.

Road runners, walkers, social members and whole families train with us. Some are chasing a marathon. Some are finding their first kilometre. Everyone is welcome at the start line.

Come down to a club run and say hello. You do not need to be fast and you do not need to be a member yet. Just bring your shoes.
