Akasia athletes found a new home northwest of Pretoria when they changed their name from Onderstepoort Striders to Akasia Atletic Klub.
We are a small running klub of about 65 members known by our blue running shorts with white and green tops branded with the blue Akasia emblem.
We are all about running and host annually two races:
This race is run by young and old from Wonderpark shopping centre in Karenpark, Akasia, Pretoria.
This circuit race is well known in running circles for its great spirit amongst participants and takes place on the premises of Gerrit Maritz High School in Pretoria North. It also forms part of a charity inititiative for the not so fortunate in the community.
Come join the Akasia family and really start to enjoy running.
We host the following races
