The primary aims of the Club are to promote the sport of road running and walking, and provide organization and suitable facilities of long tenure, to foster growth of the sport.

The relationship between Fourways Gardens Home Owners Association, Fourways Gardens Club and FGRRA is one of long standing and dates back to 1996 when FGRRA first obtained permission to run in the Estate.

A Record of Understanding governing the co-operation and conditions under which all three Parties participate has been established and is renewed periodically. All members and guests are required to adhere to a code of conduct.

DEVELOPMENT RUNNING

Fourways Development Running arose from the enthusiasm of a small group of Club members who regard themselves privileged to have skills and access to resources, and wanted to make a contribution to Development Running in the surrounding area.

The aims and objectives are to target local community based, previously disadvantaged people and incorporate programmes to reach adults and young people, to help needy adults and children through running to develop focus, and confidence through the achievement of their own goals.

FWRRA TRIATHLON

Fourways Roadrunners Triathlon was formed in 2008 due to the growing number of members that were participating in both duathlon and triathlon events. This sub-section aims to provide an identity and a home to multi-sports athletes who reside in our feeder area, offering community, club training times and support to these athletes.

There are various categories of membership to cater for single members, families and juniors. Memberships are renewed annually from the first of January each year. Membership application forms for 2011 will be posted on the website towards the end of December
