COMMUNITY INITIAVTIVE PROGRAMME
Within the DCS CLUB every year we nominate a few runners in our community to benefit from our development runners programme. This programme is designed to uplift and encourage local talent to feel a part of the running community we certainly know is a massive part of living on the North Coast of KZN.
Through memberships purchased, over and above generous contributions from members and members directly sponsoring their own development runners this programme would not be possible
It is incredibly heartening to see these members grow from strength to strength where their talent is been able to be seen by the rest of the running community
