About the club
About us

More than a running club. A community.

The Windhoek City Runners Club (WCRC) was established with the mission to promote and develop Athletics (Running), at both competitive and social levels.

We are a broad community for healthy living through running or walking, regardless of age, gender or athletic ability.
