Benoni Northerns Athletics Club is currently one of the largest traditional road running clubs in South Africa with members increasing year on year. We cater for every level of runner, from beginner to ultra marathon runners. The club is home to a number of experienced runners who are always willing to offer advice & guide new members.
The trail running sub-section of BNAC continues to grow every year. With our runners travelling to every corner of the country, climbing mountains, descending into valleys and enjoying the good company that comes with the adventures of trail running. Many of our legendary road runners have made the move to the trail running section and will agree that is where the real athletes reside.
The BNAC walkers are a powerful group of individuals who strode their way to league winners in the 2019/2020 season. The walking sub-section enjoys serious competition on the road, great friendships made along the way and a fantastic means of staying fit and strong.
The triathlon sub-section has recently experienced huge growth as the interest in the sport has escalated. We offer advice and direction on all levels of triathlon, starting from the shorter sprint distance races to half and full Ironman, with numerous members participating in all the relevant distances. The BNAC triathlon subsection runs in conjunction with Smart Tri - a local Triathlon Club which was started by a Benoni Northerns member who continues to motivate and drive the growth of triathlon.
Our junior sub-section continues to grow every year under the strong guidance of dedicated coaches. Our young athletes continue to prove themselves on the track and field in events across the country with a number of them qualifying for SA champs. Our junior athletes caught the eye of Nike executives who gave generously to sponsor their 2020 season.
