About Us
A RUNNING CLUB WITH A DIFFERENCE!
Run Zone was born from the passionate heart of Graham Block, a dedicated individual deeply entrenched in the sport. After years of involvement, Graham envisioned a running club that would not only celebrate the joy of running but also make a positive impact on people’s lives.
As Graham reached the end of his journey with his long-standing home base club, where he and his wife Tersia held an honorary membership, he felt the calling to embark on a new path. It was time to turn his dream into reality and create a running club that would be a force for good. Together with his wife, Graham shared their dream and vision with a team of equally passionate runners, giving rise to Run Zone Athletics Club, fondly known as “The People’s Running Club.”
Run Zone stands as a testament to inclusivity, impacting the lives of individuals from various walks of life. Whether you’re a beginner just starting, a social runner, an elite athlete, a walker, or a seasoned runner, Run Zone welcomes all with open arms. In the spirit of equality, Run Zone believes that every individual has the potential to achieve greatness. We are honoured to be part of each member’s journey toward self-improvement through fitness.
"Our club is a collective of amazing people striving to become the best version of THEMselves"
