Victoria Run Clubs on the Map

A Victoria run club is the simplest way to get a regular session without organising the route yourself. Most of the groups people search for are in Melbourne, from Carlton and the CBD out to Keilor and the bay. If you want the city directory on its own, use the Melbourne run clubs page. This page is the statewide list.

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.

Tanaka Running Club: Wednesday and Sunday. A Carlton group used by runners who are also in a race block.
EveryRun Club Melbourne: Wednesday. A social session, a reasonable first club if you want company more than a workout.
LilBig Run Club: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Weekday sessions aimed at newer runners.
FULL OF BEANS RUN CLUB: Wednesday and Friday.
KRC Keilor Running Club: Wednesday and Friday. An outer-west option so the session is not a trip into the CBD.
STEP UP RUNCLUB: Saturday, if you can only run on the weekend.

How to choose a Victoria run club

Pick the session you will actually reach after work. A Wednesday night in Carlton is a poor fit if you live in Keilor, 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.

Victoria run clubs by training day

Weekend: STEP UP RUNCLUB meets Saturday, and Tanaka Running Club meets Sunday. Weekday: LilBig covers Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, EveryRun and FULL OF BEANS meet Wednesday, and Keilor meets Wednesday and Friday. Sessions move, so confirm the time on the club page the week you go.
