Every Thursday at 5:45 pm we meet on the bottom cricket oval for our weekly time trial. You have the choice of running the 5k or 8k routes. Join us on the first Thursday of each month for a braai after Time Trial and the raffle to win a pair of shoes. We are also accepting donations of old running shoes. Just leave your old running shoes under the clock.
