About Nantes
Nantes Athletic Club was established in 2014 with the vision of promoting a healthy and active lifestyle through running and walking in the community – with an emphasis on fun.
Nantes members are renowned for being the friendliest and most fun in the Western Cape. Our growth can partially be attributed to the ‘Nantes Spirit’, which is easily recognizable wherever you see the famous lime green T-shirts. Whilst we love having fun, members are coached to achieve their running goals and, in most cases, they achieve more than they ever dreamt of. For this reason, our training program caters to beginner, intermediate, and advanced runners. The program is holistic and includes weekly cross-training and long runs to supplement our group training sessions.
