We are a varied group.

The RapiDos are not just elite athletes. Many hobby runners with different abilities and goals train at the club sessions three times a week which are held in and around the Romberg Park.

We are versatile.

We have our own walking group, which has developed alongside our Sunday running group. All ages of men and women who want to get out into the fresh air are welcome to join us for a "fast walk". We've even thought of children, who dependent on age, can join one of our seven athletics groups. In the winter, training takes place in the Helmut-Körnig-Halle and in the summer in the Stadion Rote Erde. Each year the club organises both indoor and outdoor track competitions.

We develop youth.

Children can train in one of seven groups, the venue depends on the time of year, as written above. From the age of 12, children have the opportunity to work with the "Laufschule Ruhr".

Our membership is ever increasing.

Our young club, which was founded in November 1999, has more than 220 members.

Important Information.

You are welcome to join us, irrespective of whether you're a beginner or already an accomplished runner.
Meeting point: Gate House at the Romberpark.
We start in all weather conditions.
