True strength is built in adversity, through facing challenges head on and coming out on the other side, stronger.
This is exactly what our
#WCW
lioness did.
She fought her way out of depression, regrouped and is on her way to conquering her running and fitness goals.
Family, let’s come together and celebrate the awesomeness that is Linda Mahlangu.
Linda raised the Fats Cats flag at the RunZone 10km race this morning as he finished 1st place with the time of 36:24 in the male category.
Congratulations Young King. We are proud of you. ❤️🖤
Dear Family,
Join us as we celebrate our Lioness, the powerhouse Miyelani Vilankulu on her amazing finish at Washie 100.
Thank you for continuously raising the Fat Cats flag high. We are proud of you Lioness. ♥️🖤
Today we lift up and congratulate the ever so strong
@nocydl
on her Podium Finish at the Kosmos 3-in-1 this past weekend. Nosipho took 2nd position in the 42km female category and became 3rd female overall finisher of the Kosmos distance.
We are proud of you Queen 🙌🏽❤️🖤
Today we celebrate and congratulate our ever so awesome fixer and healer
@Rethato06
for conquering the brutal Jackie Gibson marathon and coming 6th in the 21km female category.
In Thato’s words “the route was traumatizing”.
Congratulations Lioness, we are proud of you. ❤️🖤
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. Winter is here. Desmond Matsane is no more.
Strong is a new pretty.
A strong woman is a woman who keeps smiling despite the many problems she faces.
Here’s to strong women.
May we know them,
May we be them,
May we raise them.
Happy Women’s Day Lionesses ❤️🖤
It’s WCWednesday & today we are crushing on the ever so fierce Nosipho “NosPower” Dlamini.
Nos consistently raises the club flag and did it once again this past weekend in Durban as she conquered the Dolphin Coast Marathon finishing 9th place in the female category of the 42km
Oops she did it again!!! 🎉
The podium is becoming the most comfortable place for our Lioness Nosipho Dlamini.
@nocydl
raised our flag high once again as she came 2nd at the Alan Robb race 32km female category.
Congratulations Queen, the Cats family is beaming with pride ❤️🖤
Fat Cats AC mourns the passing of one of its own members.
A husband, a brother, a child, a colleague, a friend and an avid lover of life.
Fare thee well Maru. Fare thee well Advocate. Fare thee well the Reading Runner. May your soul rest in peace.

The wait is over, & we are thrilled with our 2021 apparel collection! Cats will be fully clad in our beautiful club colours - on the road while running, during training & when they just want to feel overall fab. Anywhere, anytime, there's a club garment to match the occasion.
I love inspiring and reaching out to others through running.

Having discovered running purely by accident, after a ‘Sunday’ football injury, I was told to start walking once my ankle healed.
Walking turned into running and running turned into a healthy addiction.

A photograph is a pause button of life. A moment in time, captured for eternity.
No picture has better captured the Fat Cats spirit, filling up the streets of Benoni at Johnson Crane Hire Marathon, better than this Pic of the Week.

was one heck of a trip. One day I’ll write a book about it.
Good luck to all the runners taking on The Ultimate Human Race this weekend.
Especially my
@fatcats_ac
family.
Whether you are taking a stab at the notoriously hilly Medihelp Sunrise Monster, chasing a Comrades qualifier at Cape Gate Vaal Marathon or just going out for a bit of mileage on the legs, may you achieve your running goals this weekend.
Best of luck to all the runners.
You asked, and we delivered! 🚌🙌🏾 Due to popular demand, we've introduced a Sub 55 paced bus for the 10km run. 🚌💨
We're thrilled to introduce our pacer Katlego "Small Siccar" Letsoalo! 🏃♂

Let’s take a moment to bow and commemorate the lives of Desmond Matsane and Noncedo Pheza. The memorial service will be a joint event between the Fat Cats AC and Chillie Runners AC, together with the Matsane and Pheza families.
Greatness is only achieved by venturing outside your comfort zone. And, any journey to greatness starts with the first step. Today, we salute William Poponki Nkoane for his courage to pursue a new level of great.
Comrades 2023 has come and gone, & it’s time to look back at how we performed as a club compared to last year.
This year we had an overall finish rate of 75%, which gave us a 20% increase in the number of medals received!
Well done Cats, you made us really proud.

A wild time in the jungle! That is what our adventurous Cats got up to recently. Lions and Lionesses in a pack, the pride tackled the dramatic Drakensberg range and had a time of their lives out in unspoilt nature.
Running the race of leadership, your team set the pace, hurdled challenges, and crossed the finish line with excellence.
Your legacy is not only measured in victories but in the spirit you've ignited. Here's to a team that led with heart and left tracks of inspiration.

As the sun sets on another unforgettable Fat Cats 10K race day, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this event possible. 🌅
I view running as more than just lacing up and going for a run. It is about connecting with who I am and being one with self.
