GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - From beginners taking their first steps to experienced marathon runners, the Maverick Athletic Club SWD is bringing Garden Route running enthusiasts together through a shared love of the sport.

The club, which forms part of the larger Maverick Athletic Club family, welcomes runners of all abilities from the Garden Route.

With a focus on friendship, fitness and individual goals, the club encourages members to enjoy running without any pressure to compete or achieve specific times.

Members participate in road races, trail runs and regular training sessions, exploring the Garden Route's scenic coastal roads, forests and mountain trails.

The club hosts several weekly runs in George. Saturday outings usually cover 10km to 20km, with various distance options and routes around George, Glentana, Hartenbos and surrounding areas. Routes and meeting points are communicated weekly.

Beyond running, the club aims to foster friendships, support local events and encourage more people to embrace an active lifestyle.
