The club provides a friendly environment for anyone who wants to run at any level from basic fitness training through to competing in ultra marathons.


There are a variety of running sessions each week and for newcomers we offer beginner courses throughout the year.

What We Do


Our membership spans all ages from 15 to 88 and with an even mix of males and females, it provides a fun and social environment to meet new friends.


Social functions are held throughout the year and include social gatherings after running events, trivia nights, bushwalks, dinners and weekends away such as training weekends in the Blue Mountains or to attend race events such as The Six Foot track ultra marathon.

Our Objectives

 

The main objective of the Northside Running Group is to help and encourage runners to achieve their running goals. The club is run by runners for runners. We offer group sessions led by run leaders and qualified coaches assisted by pacing guides. Runs are open to club members only however, you may come along to two sessions as a non member to try us out before joining.
