ABOUT JUST RUNNING ATHLETICS CLUB
The establishment of Just Running Athletics Club (JRAC) was conceived in early 2015 by a group of gym mates who felt the need to complement their training regime with road running. The club was formally registered with the Athletics Gauteng North (AGN) region of Athletics South Africa (ASA) towards the end of 2015. Over the last three years, the club has been progressively growing, both numerically and members running performance and commitment to healthy living. Although the initial objective of the founding members was primarily to encourage healthy living, improve fitness levels and just have fun, we have seen the club evolving into a formidable running club, taking its position amongst the established and recognized clubs within the Centurion area. The passion and “We Can” attitude of our members has propelled JRAC to continue in achieving heights never imagined initially
