About Us

Adelaide Running Crew is a free 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, full and ultra 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.

We are able to cater for a wide range of abilities with members just starting out to those getting podiums in races. Our group includes runners that can run 10km in 37 minutes right through to runners taking 60-65 minutes.

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 have. We do have a range of locally made Adelaide Running Crew branded running shirts and other apparel available for purchase. Please See the Merchandise section for more details.

Adelaide Running Crew members regularly participate in most major running events in and around South Australia including 10km, half, full and ultra marathons on both road and trail.

Members also regualarly participate in interstate races including Sydney, Melbourne and Gold Coast marathons to name a few.

If you are interested in or preparing for a race, please share it with the group as we often help each other with extra training, accommodation and logistics getting to and from events!

Social Events

Adelaide Running Crew have a number of regular social activities, including the traditional 'Last Wednesday of the Month' dinner after Wednesday training and weekly morning breakfast/coffee at a cafe after Saturday runs (you are welcome to join us even if you didn't run!) There is also a social committee which organises 3-4 events each year such as fringe shows, wine tours and movie nights.

Adelaide Running Crew maintains a Private Facebook Group for organising social events, to join upcoming social events please join the group - an admin will approve your request to join if you have shown up to at least one run
