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
To develop and foster the sport of athletics amongst its members and the community
To encourage its members to participate in athletics.
To provide coaching and enable members at all levels in athletics;
Represents its members at all levels;
Promote non-racialism and combat unfair discrimination at all levels.
Promote a culture of safe road running.
We are a jolly and most loving family in Gauteng North. We are not just a running club, we are a very happy family; fun-loving crew who love to cheer each other on. Whether you're here to conquer a marathon or just enjoy some social runs, we hope every member of our family reaches their goals and has a blast doing it!! We offer the following support to our members:
We have a schedule for daily runs which accommodates our members' busy schedules and provide safety on the road as we run in groups.
We offer members and non members support on the road during races.
One does not have to worry about buying a temporary licence every time she or he attends the races.
We have a dedicated coaching team which focuses on all runners' needs whether one is new or seasoned.
Our WhatsApp group is buzzing almost daily with our "keyboard warriors" who keep us entertained and laughing non-stop. It is proof that we are a social running club!! We share training schedules, race schedules and other important announcements for members in the annoucements-only Whatsapp group for those who prefer peace and quiet.
