Run_Club FAQ

  • If you are looking for a ‘competitive club’ then GRC might not be for you. We are a family of local runners and joggers, committed to building a positive and encouraging community of people who enjoy running and the vibes it can bring. If you are only seeking a better PB, we’ll give you a high-five & kudos as we jog past.

  • There’s no macho ego contest at GRC. Although we track our runs on Strava, we keep fast runs seperate. We pride ourselves on the encouraging culture we have, and the sharing of best practices from our individual journeys.

  • Although we are open to runners of all levels, we ask people to be able to run for at least 30mins non-stop before attending. Our crew runs are usually split over 2 groups. The fast group has an average pace of <5 min per km. The beginners group has an average pace of >6.30 min per km. Kids are welcome but with the supervision of a parent or guardian.

    1. For safety and social reasons, say hello to someone you don’t know.

    2. If someone is looking lost please make them feel at home.

    3. Please respect your crew captains by keeping between the front and back pacers.

    4. For safety and social reasons, leave mp3 players and headphones at home.

    5. Come dressed to run.

    6. Hydration is key, make sure to bring a drink or snack.

    7. Please keep COVID safe and follow the local rules & health orders.

    8. Make sure you bring it! No-one is getting left behind.
