Run Club
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to run your first 5km or 10km. Maybe you want to enter a half marathon and need some help getting there. Or maybe you just want a add another healthy choice into your life and it means running with friends and coffee.
How it’s structured
Every Wednesday night we do a speed session and this is 6pm - 7pm. Saturdays are our long runs (up to 2km - 12km unless those training for half marathons). We meet at various locations to keep it fun + fresh. You can follow our FB page to see our weekly locations.
How does it work?
Each 6 weeks we have a new focus and for most of the year we are training towards something - in-house race day or paid event. You don’t need to do any of them, but you can do all of them. They are a good way to keep our training varied + continuing to increase our fitness.
And a few Friday nights a year we do “Run for Beer” which means we do a local run then have a social drink at the end. Kids usually ride their bikes and we catch up over some fitness and hydration. We are quite the social crew :)
Will it be ok for me?
Whilst we train in a group, each person has their own abilities + we take this into account. Whether you are starting with a decent fitness level or this is day 1, we cater for all runners. That’s the best part …. you get better at your own level!

8 Week Running Program Starts 7 April
Our 8 week running program
This year our 8 week running program lines up with the Brisbane Running Festival which is on 1 June 2025. We start training on 7 April and then compete in our local Brisbane event.
The program comes around once a year and here’s a snapshot of what it includes:
8 weeks of focused training to help you achieve YOUR running goal. Whether you are starting fresh or a seasoned runner, running 5km or 10km or 21.1km is what we cater for. The program offers 3 x running sessions per week, plus a specific power / strength session focused on keeping injuries away, giving you lots of power to run effectively and also a personalized 8 week running program for you to follow.
Over the years the program has seen many people secure new PBs in their current running distance and also new runners (from scratch) to half marathon distances.
Training with a group of like minded people keeps it fun while working together for a common goal.
Everybody fits in at our running program because we are the friendliest running group around :)
It’s a great program for beginner and intermediate runners.
