For the love of running!
Origins is a running club with a home base in The Cradle of Humankind.
We focus on road running, trail running & walking for new and experienced runners alike. We host monthly social / training road and/or trail runs in The Cradle of Humankind as well as other runs in northern and western parts of Johannesburg during the month.
We’re not just a running club; we’re a family of athletes who run on laughter, endorphins, and a caffeine kick. Whether you’re a sprinter or a jogger, join Origins Running Club for the thrill of the run and the joy of community!
From road running to scenic trails, we embrace the best of both worlds.
Why was Origins Running Club created?
Origins Running Club (ORC)ย originally started in COVID as a club to support people who were training on their own. It is now a Club where people feel that they are part of a running community. We do not have a strict home base but run from various areas in northern and western parts of Johannesburg and the Cradle of Humankind. We want to ensure that runners who donโt want to be part of a large running club have somewhere to develop their love for the sport.
