About

The Adelaide Running Crew is a social running group aimed at helping members achieve their running goals.

We do this through group training sessions conducted in a supportive atmosphere. All members of our group have different running goals and abilities - from purely social runners right through to those training for half and full marathons.

It's all about running together, having fun and celebrating each others achievements. It's free to join and train with us.

FAQ

Nothing - we do it for the love of it and do not ask for payment. We do ask however that you contribute with a gold coin donation after any of the runs or an amount of your choice to a charity chosen by the group each year. The ARC also has to pay a small amount for insurance and coaching registration each year which is covered by donations.

Provided you have a basic level of fitness and can run non-stop for approximately 30-40. minutes, then you will be able to cope with both the Wednesday interval sessions and longer runs on Saturdays.

The Wednesday night interval sessions offer a structure that provides flexibility for beginners and seasoned runners so are a good place to start running with the ARC. However, new runners that come along on Saturday will also be looked after and not left on their own, so don’t feel intimidated to come and join our longer runs too. The Saturday sessions are also typically out-and-back routes, so you can choose a distance that works best for you and don’t have to be able to run long distances from the beginning.

While there are no superstars in the group, we are able to cater for a wide range of abilities. Currently our group includes runners that can run 10km in 37 min right through to runners taking 60-65 min.

Gear can be kept in one of the coaches/participants cars near to our meeting place.

There is no mandatory uniform; feel free to wear any appropriate running gear that you may have. We do have a selection of ARC branded running wear that is available to purchase. Currently we are able to provide branded shorts, singlets, t-shirts, caps and even hoodies. For more information, click here

Adelaide Running Crew members can be found at many fun runs across Adelaide. Some members have participated in interstate events including the Great Ocean Road Marathon and Half, City to Surf and the Melbourne Marathon and Half Marathon.

The Adelaide Running Crew have a number of regular social activities, including the traditional 'Last Wednesday of the Month' dinner after training and the weekly Saturday morning Breakfast. There is also a social committee which organises 3-4 events each year such as lawn bowls, wine tours and movie nights

Merchandise

Adelaide Running Crew merchandise is ordered periodically based on demand. Please ask one of the coaches if you are interested in purchasing a singlet, t-shirt or hoodie.

Donations

How can you help?

The Adelaide Running Crew choose a charity to donate to each year. We encourage each runner to donate either through a ‘gold coin’ donation after any of our runs or by directly depositing any amount in the ARC bank account. Donations go towards covering our costs, with any balance donated to a charity chosen by ARC.
