Rocky Road Runners

Rocky Road Runners One of Joburg's most established running clubs. We welcome all runners and walker, and host time trials, Sunday club runs and speed sessions from zoo lake.

Rocky Road Runners welcomes runners of all types and ages, as well as walkers, to our designated walks, time trials, zoo trots, and yearly race. We are based centrally at Moyo, corner of Lower Park Drive and Westwold Way in Parkview. As one of the oldest and most established running clubs in South Africa, this Group was created to offer a forum providing support and information to Rockies and future members to do what they love - running. Club Runs
Our club runs take place every Sunday and start at 6am from the ZLSC. Distances vary from 16 to 40Km depending on the time of year.We incorporate a shorter run of about 21km if the run on the day is more than 25km, and each route has ample water and Coke stops. There is also a walk every Sunday at 7am from Zoo Lake, and distances range between about 10km to 16km. RUNNING GROUPS
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 5.45am: Old Eds parking lot (Virgin Active Gym) Houghton

Long Club Run
Our pre-Comrades 65km long club run, usually held on the second Sunday of May, draws hundreds of Rockies and non-members each year. It is endorsed by the official Comrades coach and Rockies honorary vice president Don Oliver, who also designed the route. There are refreshment points approximately every 3km. The 2010 long run will be on the 25th April from the ZLSC at 5am. Contact Rockies 08610ROCKY. Time Trials
We have a 5km time trial every Saturday morning at 7.30am from the Zoo Lake Moyo restaurant parking lot. This time trial has been going for 25 years, and is timed by Val and Richard Wilkinson, who are well known on the running scene. Comrades
Rockies offers members Comrades transport and an accommodation package at a greatly reduced fare. We also provide at least three much-appreciated seconding points during the second half of the Comrades route. Race
Each year Rockies hosts a race. The 21km and 10Km , named in the memory of Gerald Fox, and in September from the Johannesburg Zoo. This race was first run in September 2004 and The Citizen Newspaper is the title sponsor. It is a very popular race and attracts on average 3 000 runners and walkers. Newsletter
Every four weeks we send out a newsletter to members via email. Members who aren't on email receive a monthly newsletter by post, detailing news and upcoming runs and club events. Socials
We have social braais after events such as Comrades, the AGM and prizegiving at no cost to our members.
