In the Jan/Feb 2024 issue of the Runners World Magazine, Community Track Club was officially dubbed the 'Coolest Running Club in South Africa', which is quite the statement! As we've discussed many times on the pod in the past, the social running scene has swept the country by storm, but there is one club that puts on a show like no other. If you go in search of a 'diabolical workout' + vibezzzz and a GOOD TIME we must agree that CTC is indeed the place to be!Co-founded by today's guest, Erin Groll and S3|E5's guest, Mike Obery, CTC's monthly meets draw a field of 300+ community members from the mother city at large and surrounding suburbs, but what makes this such a fantastic spectacle of running? Well we find out in todays delightful conversation with Erin.We chat: All things speed work and why this style of running - although lost in the process of aging - is such an innate and ingrained part of all of us.Running, community and finding a space of acceptance and belonging.Why Community Track Club is for everyone and the magic that goes into making it happen.Erin's path paved in gratitude; for running, people, photography and how she's been able to converge all of these passions and call it her career.The future of CTC and how initiatives like this are transforming running within SA.Make sure to join the next meet happening in Stellenbosch on the 14th of March - visit https://www.instagram.com/communitytrackclub?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== for more details.Enjoy!
