Women only running club to boost safety
City running club to improve safety for women joggers
THERE is safety in numbers.

Catch Me If You Can (CMIYC) is a free, women only running club.
It currently has upwards of 9 000 members and 40 leaders across the country, and caters for all women regardless of fitness levels and goals.
