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

---

How much do sessions cost?

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.

Are the sessions suitable for a range of abilities?

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.

Where can I store my gear?

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

Is there a uniform?

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

When and where do you compete?

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.

Is there a social side to the group?

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

Organisations we supported in the past

Current 2016 - 2018 2012 - 2016 2011 2010 2009

Currently ARC has raised $354 towards The Royal Society for the Blind (RSB). The RSB is a not-for-profit organisation providing services to Australians who have a severe vision impairment. These services are delivered by a professional, committed and highly qualified team supported by volunteers, drawn from all age groups and walks of life.

From 2016 to 2018 ARC raised $972 towards Disability Recreation and Sports SA. Disability Recreation and Sports SA is a not-for-profit, member-driven Association that strives to support people with a disability to lead active, healthy and connected lives through participation in recreation, fitness and sport.

From 2012 to 2015 ARC raised $1920 towards the Hutt Street Centre. The Hutt Street Centre is a multi-service day centre giving a safe haven for Adelaide’s most vulnerable men and women. Homelessness can and does happen to anyone. Hutt St Centre is a place of hope and opportunity, helping people facing homelessness to rebuild their lives, without judgement.

In 2011 ARC raised $516 towards The Marathon Project, a not for profit organisation established to address the incidence of chronic disease and inactivity within Indigenous Australia. They train young Indigenous men and woman to run, jog or walk and make activity and regular part of their lives.

In 2010 ARC raised $750 towards the Melissa White Memorial Laboratory which is a foundation that members of the groups chose after running in the 10k Carisbrooke Classic. After the run we met Annie the mother of a little girl who passed away from Leukaemia. The event was raising money for the Melissa White Memorial Laboratory, and all of us who heard Annie talk knew this was where we would like to be sending our gold coin donations.

In 2009 ARC raised $450 to support Reuben Kosgei's Riverside Academy in Kenya. Reuben is an elite athlete and won a gold medal in the Sydney Olympic Games in the 3000m steeple-chase. He has since set up an education centre academy which provides education for children as well as athletics training for certain of the students who have potential as runners.
