  4. 4

    Organise and support races, social runs and fun runs for members and the public.

  5. 5

    Develop junior runners and encourage families to run together.

  6. 6

    Represent members at regional and national events.

  7. 7

    Work with sponsors and partners to grow running in Namibia.

  8. 8

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.”
