Our
vision
The West Coast Athletic Club unites running enthusiasts from Milnerton, Tableview, Blouberg, Parklands and Sunningdale. Multiple training groups allow members with various fitness levels and aspirations to train and improve their personal best, get ready for a milestone race, or just run socially.
Apart from road running, the club has a large trail running group, with weekly runs around Table Mountain. Novice runners are welcome to join, and will soon find themselves part of a group that fits their lifestyle.
Not only does the West Coast AC organise various annual road races, it also contributes to various events throughout the year in support of charities.
Currently the club shares its home with the Tableview Tennis Club.
