Testimonials from some of our franchise owners

Beth Hamman
Franchisee – Fourways
I have been involved with Run/Walk For Life for over 18 years, the last nine as a franchisee. This best thing is, I get to live my passion and see what can be achieved with this programme on a daily basis. I love seeing people who never exercised before experience the satisfaction of doing their first 5 or 10-kilometer race.
