Who are we, and who make up our members?

We are a social (semi-competive) running club based in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia (Mt Gravatt/Holland Park/Sunnybank Area)
Our members come from a broad cross section of the community, and range in age from their late teens to 70 years old.
We have a male to female ratio of about 50/50.

New to running? Join our 'beginners run' 1st Saturday of each month.

We now have a new 30min/walk jog run on the 1st Saturday Morning of each month, at 6:30am from the QE11 Stadium (Nathan).

This is ideal for those who want to start running, and don't want to run alone, or for those who have been away from running for awhile, and want to ease back into it.
The meeting point is the same as our longer 6am Saturday run, only it starts 30 minutes later at 6:30am.
Please email or text us if you are coming along.
(There are both toilets and showers available at the start/finish.)


What are our abilities?

On a good day, some of our members will run 10 km (6.25 miles) in 55 min to 60 mins, we also have members who run slower and faster than this.  Some run longer distances, and some shorter distances, so no matter what your ability, aims or expectations, you should be able to fit in with us.

Why run with us?

Whether you are a new runner, new member or visitor, no newcomer is ever left alone on a training run (unless they run too fast ), and at all times our members put the old fashion Australian tradition of 'mateship', ahead of personal ambition.

What is our signature run?

Toohey Forest/Mt Gravatt on Saturday mornings, followed by breakfast.
We run a series of trails (both bitumen and dirt), and it is as close to nature as you can get in a city of 1 million people.


If you have any queries, please contact us.

You do not have to be a member to get on our email list, but once you start running with us on a regular (but not necessarily a frequent) basis, you are expected to become a member.
