Race support
You can’t beat the Ekhaya vibe! Look out for our striking blue, yellow and black striped gazebos at selected popular road and cross-country races in and around Gauteng. Ekhaya A.C. provides members with gazebo support such as a bag drop, snacks and drinks at race finish areas (we currently aim for approx. one CGA-registered race per month).
Ekhaya A.C. also offers an amazing full race support package for the Comrades Marathon, in partnership with Michelle Coach Mee. This includes multiple support tables along the route with personalised support for each of our runners and finish arena support.
Fun events and fundraisers
Keeping the vibe going, Ekhaya has organised a number of fun events ranging from Spruit run socials to scavenger hunt fundraisers. Look out for upcoming events on our social media platforms.
Development Programme
Youth sports development was a founding goal of Ekhaya A.C. and we aim to bring new young runners into the sport of cross-country running and actively support a youth development running programme in Turffontein.
A portion of every membership fee is earmarked for supporting our development runners, to provide them with transport, licensing and a variety of other support. We also aim to provide training support and collect serviceable running gear for their use. We welcome member participation in supporting our development programme, be it by committing some of your time, donating running gear or sponsorship for our runners.
