Run club · Yaoundé
Ngala Carine, after her first 5K
CORSA is a running club in Yaoundé. Laps of the lake before sunrise, night runs through Biyem-Assi, and somebody always waiting at the finish line for whoever is last. One year in, there are two things you can come to.
What's onOn now
One is a birthday, one is a day off. Each has its own page, its own date and its own ticket.
The club turns one and the party is three days long: a 5KM road run on the Thursday, a potluck and movie night by the lake on the Friday, then a DJ-powered 3KM Run N Rave at dawn on the Saturday, followed by cake, music and the CORSA business marketplace. One pass covers all of it.
This one has already happened. The page is still up.
A women's wellness retreat at Les Jardins de Simbock. One day to stop, breathe, be fussed over and pour something back into yourself. Not a run — a pause.

The little progress is what should be celebrated.Since October 2025
On the 7th of October somebody asked why there wasn't a group yet. Minutes later the link existed. The first night run was four people on a street in Yaoundé, 5KM at 8:26 a kilometre, every one of them fairly sure they were about to die.
A year later it is race bibs and sunrise laps, a women's retreat, medals nobody won and everybody kept. The pace is still whatever the slowest person is running.
CORSA gave me a wife, CORSA gave me a shelter. Long live CORSA.

This was in Feb this year for the sole mate run. I could consider it my first run. It was very hectic going round the lake 3 times.
Day 1 for me was ALL SHADES OF FUN. Shout-out to my Bandos in blue who shared the February event and encouraged most of us to make it. We were each other's SOLE-MATE.Everyone's pace
Most of us weren't. Come to a run, walk the parts you need to walk, and stay for whatever happens afterwards.
