Membership
Greetings fellow Love Runners!
As a Love Runner or potential Love Runner, we would like you to understand our objective as a club. We strive to be a positive influence on the running and walking community in Pretoria and by extension, Gauteng. Our motto – “GET FIT, GET FRIENDS, CHANGE THE WORLD” is a good summary of our intention as group of like-minded individuals with a common interest, that of running and race-walking!
We would like to impact the running and walking fraternity around us by serving the sport and those participating through the medium of running.
From casual runners who partake in the odd 10km to the more serious athletes who tackle South Africa’s various ultras we have a strong social focus, not only ensuring that we get to know one another but also that we keep contributing to the greater community. IN SHORT, WE ARE A CLUB WITH A DIFFERENCE.
As a club we are committed to not just seeing our members as numbers, but we would like to get to know you better. We want to motivate you to be a part of what we do and who we are.
Club members are expected to get involved on club activities. For example, volunteering for the Love Run, taking part in league races (doing a league race helps the club gain points and betters our overall position), volunteering for hosting the gazebo at the races or time trial and attending socials (we really want to see you there to put a “face” to a name).
Membership is by way of application, and subject to the approval of the Love Running Management Committee. Registration is only complete once you have physically collected your licence number from us at either on a Tuesday time trial or from our gazebo at official AGN races. Licenses must be collected within 4 weeks of registration or confirmation, failing which your 2023 membership application will be cancelled without a refund.
