Australian Capital Territory Run Clubs on the Map

An ACT run club is a Canberra run club. The same groups are listed on the Canberra run clubs page. This page is the territory directory.

Run clubs to start with

Check the club page for the meeting point and the usual pace. Days below are what each club currently lists.

  • Lake Tuggeranong Running Club: Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. A southside option with a weekend session.
  • Underground Run Club: Friday.
  • Canberra Runners: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The widest set of days if you want more than one session.
  • Burley Griffin Canberra: Saturday and Sunday, if you only run on the weekend.
  • Kudos Running: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

How to choose an ACT run club

Pick the session you will actually reach. Tuggeranong on a Tuesday is a poor fit if you live on the north side and finish work late, and the reverse is true. Then check the day and whether the write-up sounds social or structured. Most of these groups are free to try. Read the club page anyway, because coached sessions sometimes cost.

The directory at the top of this page is the full trending list. Open a club, save it, and go once before you decide it is yours.
