Team Vitality gets moving from February – tell your employees to sign up!

The Team Vitality movement is almost here! Do you have employees who are running or cycling enthusiasts? Read more.

Team Vitality is the new running and cycling club that will help your employees on Vitality get fit, save money and connect with like-minded people. Vitality members can officially join the Team Vitality running and cycling club from February onwards and start enjoying all the awesome benefits.

Your employees get all the good stuff when they join Team Vitality

When your employees join Team Vitality, they’ll get exciting benefits:

1. Up to 50% cash back on race entry fees for some of SA’s best races on the Team Vitality race calendar;
2. Up to 5 000 Vitality points for each event they complete and the most rewarding club experience around at selected events on the Team Vitality race calendar; and
3. A Team Vitality starter kit including a club race shirt to wear at events and vouchers worth over R1 000 for devices and sports items.

What your employees need to know about licenses

Athletics South Africa regulations require you to belong to one running club only. If your employees join Team Vitality, they will have to resign from their current clubs and send us a clearance letter and the completed ASA application form so that we can apply for licenses on their behalf.

Licenses for running will be available in Central Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal (KZN).We aim to roll out licenses in other regions during the year and will keep you and your employees updated when they become available.

Cycling licenses will be available in all regions. The Team Vitality registration fee will cover the cost of a Cycling South Africa license and the provincial levy.

Runners can complete time trials to see how they measure up

From March, Team Vitality time trials for Central Gauteng runners will take place every Wednesday evening at Wanderers in Johannesburg. Runners based in KZN can meet up at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Alternatively, runners can complete a weekly parkrun event AND earn Vitality points at the same time. They simply have to register with parkrun and link it to their Discovery memberships using their passport or SA ID numbers. Your employees can go to www.parkrun.co.za to find their closest venue.

Joining Team Vitality is easy. From February employees on Vitality can visit www.discovery.co.za and complete the registration by selecting running or cycling (or both), and paying the registration fee using a credit or debit card. Please note that your employees must be  18 years or older to join Team Vitality.
