Run Clubs in the Northern Territory

The Territory has a short club list: a couple of Darwin groups and a couple in Alice Springs. Browse them by training day and open a club page before you turn up.

Northern Territory Run Clubs on the Map

A Northern Territory run club is a small list, which makes the choice simpler. Darwin has Rapid Creek Track Club and Run Club Darwin. Alice Springs has the Alice Springs Running and Walking Group and Mparntwe Social. Darwin groups are also on the Darwin run clubs page.

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.

  • Rapid Creek Track Club: Tuesday and Thursday, in Darwin.
  • Run Club Darwin: Tuesday and Saturday.
  • Alice Springs Running and Walking Group: the Alice Springs group to open if you are not in Darwin. Check the club page for the next session.
  • Mparntwe Social: Wednesday, in Alice Springs.

How to choose a Northern Territory run club

Start with the city you actually live in. A Darwin Tuesday is no use in Alice Springs. Then check the day. Most of these groups are free to try. Read the club page anyway, because the meeting point matters more when there are only a few sessions in town.

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.

Northern Territory run clubs by training day

Weekend: Run Club Darwin lists Saturday. Weekday: Rapid Creek Track Club and Run Club Darwin meet Tuesday, Rapid Creek also meets Thursday, and Mparntwe Social meets Wednesday. Sessions move, so confirm the time on the club page the week you go.

For a race instead of a group, use the Northern Territory running events calendar.
