RUNNING AND
TRIATHLON
Running is a great way to meet people and keep fit at the same time.
Many campus’ Sports Clubs use the weekly running club sessions as
fitness training for students wanting to stay on top of their game.
Running also provides a great launch pad into Triathlon offered in
KZN and Gauteng, and Obstacle Course Racing offered at the Waterfall
campus. These multi-disciplined events create great comradery when
students combine with other Sports Club members in the team events.
This means students don’t have to be proficient or experienced as
individuals to participate.
Trail running offers students the opportunity to experience some of
the most beautiful lan dscapes our country has to offer, with the club
catering for both beginners and more seasoned runners.
Experienced and social runners (both road and trail) are encouraged
to join the Varsity College Running Club on STRAVA, the online mobile
fitness tracking app, where you can compete against members from
your own campus club or with students from around the country.
Weekly and monthly prizes are up for grabs making it both fun and
competitive at the same time.
