Through our involvement we aim to contribute towards
Growing the sport
Establishing running clubs that focus on attracting Nedbank employees, Nedbank clients and the general public to the sport, thereby growing the base of active athletes in the country.
Developing our athletes
Raising the quality of local athletes by attracting the best South African runners and providing them with the necessary infrastructure, backing and expertise so that they can compete on the global stage.
Creating experiences
Creating an experience that can be enjoyed by the whole family and is not intimidating to social runners or walkers who want to stay fit, socialise or simply enjoy a healthy lifestyle and improve their sporting ability.
