Join Team Vitality – Discovery Vitality’s new running and cycling club!

The Team Vitality movement is almost here! Are you a running or cycling enthusiast? We’ve got a great new benefit that will help you to get fit, save money and connect with like-minded people. You’ll soon be able to officially join the Team Vitality running and cycling club from February. This means that you can start enjoying all the awesome Team Vitality benefits from February onwards.

Get all the good stuff when you join

When you join Team Vitality, you’ll get exciting benefits:

1. Up to 50% cash back on race entry fees for some of SA’s best races on the Team Vitality race calendar;
2. Earn up to 5 000 Vitality points for each event you complete and the most rewarding race club experience around at selected events on the Team Vitality race calendar; and
3. A Team Vitality starter kit including a club race vest to wear at events and vouchers worth over R1 000 for devices and sports items.

Running licenses

Running licenses will be available in Central Gauteng and KZN. We aim to roll out licenses to other regions during the year and will keep our members updated when they become available.

Current Athletics South Africa (ASA) regulations mean that you can only belong to one running club.  If you live in Central Gauteng or KZN and choose to join Team Vitality you will need to resign from your current running club and send us your clearance letter together with a newly completed ASA form, so that we can apply for your license on your behalf.

Cycling licenses

Cycling licenses will be available for all regions. Your registration fee covers the cost for your Cycling South Africa (CSA) license and your provincial levy.

Time trials for runners

Want to see how you measure up against yourself? Time trials will begin every Wednesday evening from March at Wanderers in Johannesburg for Central Gauteng-based runners and at the Moses Mabhida Stadium for KZN-based runners. Alternatively you can use your weekly parkrun events as your time trials AND earn Vitality points at the same time. All you need to do is register with parkrun and link your parkrun profile to your Discovery membership using your RSA ID number or passport. Join the over 170 000 other SA runners around the country with parkrun. Go to www.parkrun.co.za to find your closest parkrun venue.

Run or cycle your way to a better lifestyle

With selected races on the Team Vitality race calendar you’ll get up to 50% cash back and enjoy the Team Vitality experience. Cash back limits apply.
