About the club

Startline Athletics Club welcomes runners of every level. Some of our members are chasing personal bests. Others are lacing up for the first time. Everyone gets the same welcome, the same kit and the same support.

We register our licensed members with Athletics South Africa/Limpopo Athletics (ASA/LIMA), so you can enter official races in club colours.
