Fourways Gardens Road Runners – FRR (Fourways Road Runners) for short, offers two main types of membership.

TYPE1 – Those that want access to fourways gardens where our club is located for social and tuesday/thursday team running.

TYPE2 – Those that just cannot make those evenings but need a license as well as access to the gazebo at the selected races.

 

*TYPE1

Those that want access to fourways gardens where our club is located for :

    1. Social purposes – after Time Trial Thursdays, Wine Tasting, Bear Tasting, Quiz Evening, AGM, End of Year Function
    2. Tuesday 18h15 Quality Session. Club trainer works you hard. Bring a towel and water bottle. Done at your own pace but you will see improvements in your running – guaranteed.
    3. Thursday 18h15 Time Trial. A no pressure timed 5km,8km and more if you like. Some run earlier and stick around for the social afterwards. We have the Gazebo where we socialize but at the main club you have access to showers and the estate restaurant for a very reasonable prices club meal.
    4. Saturday 06h00 (06h30 winter) 15km Club Run. Very much dependent on season and races on. We have created a Northern Runners together with other clubs/running groups in the area so that all runs in the north can be published. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Northern-Runners/304398206269570
    5. Race Gazebo. We have the Fourways Road Runner Gazebo at selected races where you can hand in our bag while running, return to a seat in the shade and purchase a drink. You can even tell everyone how you are never running again!! You will find a number of running psychologists on hand. This includes Two Oceans and Comrades as away races.

 

**Here you have a choice as a non-resident to take a standard access as described above or a full access to a limited 40 members that then have access to the estate everyday for running purposes.

    2. Saturday – Parking outside, at the gate of the Estate – 6h00 (6h30 winter). 15km Club run. Very much dependent on season and races on.

    3. Race Gazebo. We have the Fourways Road Runner Gazebo at selected races where you can hand in our bag while running, return to a seat in the shade and purchase a drink.

FG Access Codes for Non-Resident TYPE1

All non-residents TYPE1 are required to get a FWG access card. For those new members and previous members who do not have access cards, you will need to apply for the access card directly at the FWG Estate Office (week days before 16h00). Once you have completed your membership forms and payment has been received, your name will be submitted to the estate office for card processing – normally within 7 days of you license form/payment has been verified. There is a fee associated with the card and if it is the first time, a code of conduct together with the application form will need to be signed. This you can do at the estate office. So, on the day you would like to get your access card, call the estate office and let them know you need a code to process your access card, say that afternoon. Take R100 for a new card with you and the rest can be done at the estate office.

Please note that loss of a FWG access card must be reported and renewed directly with the Estate Office. Access codes will no longer be given out from the end of February.If your card is inactive for over 30days (no entries into the estate) it will need to be reactivated:  For reactivation – give a bit of lead time … at least 72 hours notice to be safe. Either call the Fourways Gardens Estate Office on 011 465 7731 or e-mail Hayley at the estate office for reactivation: Hayley@fwg.co.zaLast and very importantly – it is forbidden to give your card to someone else to use. They have your picture on the card and it will be picked up by the guards. Access will then be terminated.

Thinking about joining?

Possible new members who would like to come and run and see what the club is all about need to SMS the club chairman, Dayle, on 076 184 7291 before 14h00 on Thursdays in order to get an access code. Remember to put your name.
