Looking to join a running club in Johannesburg? Ekhaya A.C. was founded to be a home for runners of all backgrounds and disciplines. The word “ekhaya” means “at home” in isiZulu, and that’s exactly the spirit we strive to create—a welcoming, inclusive space where every runner feels they belong.
While our club is registered in central Johannesburg, we currently operate as a largely virtual club, connecting runners across the Central Gauteng region, with a growing community in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
At Ekhaya, we believe running is more than just a sport—it’s about companionship, support, and building community. Transparency is one of our core values, and we actively encourage member involvement in shaping the day-to-day life of the club.
Learn more about who we are by exploring our Values, Mission and Vision, and meet our 2026 Committee.
