It's a diverse community of like-minded runners who support and inspire each other and welcomes members of any ability.

"From the first day I joined Paarl Paarl Athletics Club, I felt welcomed and soon many runners became friends. The club’s athletes are very dedicated, come wind or rain, they pitch and still make the runs memorable. This made it so much easier for me to stay consistent, especially during the rainy winter months. There is also never a dull moment, always laughing and planning the next running adventure. They offer a variety of runs, from track sessions, weekly time trials, hill repeats and short to long runs. As a triathlete it assisted me to join the type of runs that fitted my schedule as well as benefiting my training. Overall, Paarl Paarl made running enjoyable and helped me to reached my running goals. It is definitely the best running club in the Boland."
