About Us

Why was Origins Running Club created?

Origins Running Club (ORC) has been created to cater for the “new normal”. It is a Virtual Running Club for athletes that are currently training on their own, but will have a Club to call home so that they feel that they are part of a running community. This community is to support each and every member and fill the void left by various lock downs and restrictions that impact clubs with a strict home base. We want to ensure that runners who don’t want to be part of a traditional running club have somewhere to develop their love for the sport.

ORC is a small running club that focuses on the members which will enable the executive committee to provide guidance and support to new members that are intimidated by larger running clubs and bring them into the running fold.

Our primary purpose is to create an inclusive running environment for people who run for the love of the sport.

ORC is not limited to only road runners, but will cater for trail runner and walkers. We have also affiliated with a multisport club to foster inter-sport relationships and develop people in different skills and areas if they choose to explore other options.
