About running at Active Accra
Running is where Active Accra started — a handful of us on Labadi Beach at 5:45am in 2021, chasing the last of the cool air before the sun cleared the water.
Today it is the heartbeat of the club. Three weekly sessions, pace groups from 7:30/km down to sub-4, and a coffee on the sand afterwards that most people will tell you is the real reason they come back.
