Windhoek Harriers say it is inviting new members to join. The club is very active with weekly training and regular events scheduled throughout the year.
“Fatties and lazies are more than welcome. Meet new people, stay fit and start participating in the many fun events organised by this active running club” the club said in a statement announcing next week’s Club Captain’s run.
Windhoek Harriers is a running/walking club of about 200 active members. The club hosts several events during the year in and around Windhoek. Time-trials are held every Tuesday from the club house at the Hockey Union Fields next to the Athletic Stadium in Olympia at 18:00.
You do not need to be a top notch runner to join Windhoek Harriers at any of their events. Like any club, Windhoek Harriers offers a fun social environment, people also enjoy running and walking as a means to stay fit, cross train, meet other people and socialise after a good run.
“The beauty of running is that it is unpretentious, simple, adaptable and positive, and any healthy person, regardless of age, can walk or run.
“You may initially not go fast or far, and you may walk in between your running, but once you start making running a regular habit, you’ll lose weight, lower your blood pressure, reduce the stress of daily life and feel a surge of energy. You’ll strengthen your body while managing your stress levels down,” the club said.
