How to join or renew

  1. Choose the membership that matches your age.
  2. Check out securely with PayFast. We ask for your date of birth and an emergency contact.
  3. Your membership is active as soon as payment is confirmed, and your digital membership card appears in your account.

Your running licence

To race in South Africa you need a licence number from your provincial athletics body. As a member of a club affiliated to Central Gauteng Athletics, your licence number is arranged through the club. If you already have a number from a previous year, add it at checkout and we keep it on your record.

When membership runs

The membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December. From 1 November, new memberships count for the following year and start straight away, so anyone joining late in the year gets the remaining weeks included.

Race licence

Your athletics licence number for road races across South Africa.

Run together

Coached schools and friendly groups six days a week.

Catered races

Club tents and refreshments at selected races.

Awards
