Welcome to the Whalers Athletic club Home Page.  The Club is based in Hermanus in the Boland Region of the Western Cape and has around 60 members.  Whalers are friendly people, welcoming all members of the community and visitors. We cater for a wide range of athletic abilities and aspirations (Runners and Walkers). The club has some good athletes who thrive on the competitive aspects of the sport, and also those who just want to run for pleasure or to keep fit.

a 3km time trial was introduced on 1 September 2005: which as we hoped, attracted more walkers and schoolchildren. 

 

 

Ode to the 3km:  

Spring has sprung, the time has come

To get rid of that bulging tummy

Spread the news, put on your shoes

Get out and start some running

The new time trial, is like a smile

You scarcely know you’ve done it

Only three kays long, just like a song

You’ll enjoy it as you run it!
