General Information

Woodstock Runners has been meeting each Tuesday night since 1980. With groups leaving at 5 minute intervals from 6.20pm, we cater for runners and walkers of all abilities and our members range in age from 15 to 83 years.

Our first group runs at a pace of 5.5 - 6 minutes per kilometre, while our fastest group runs at about 3.5 - 4 minutes per kilometre. Our runs range from 9 to 12 kilometres in length and maps are provided for all courses. A relatively recent innovation has been the introduction of two walking groups - one for normal walking and one for race walking. Six to twelve walking enthusiasts head off together at 6.20 pm and cover in full, or in part, the particular course covered by the runners.

Woodstock Runners, and now also walkers, meet at Woodstock Community Centre, Burwood, at 6.10pm and an informal meeting gives us a chance to talk about fun runs/walks and club events. We encourage members to participate in fun runs/walks both as individuals and as part of a team.

Club members also meet at Brett Park, Drummoyne each Saturday morning at 7.20am for a run around the Bay or through surrounding streets and parks. At present there is no specific Saturday morning walking group however the interest shown in walking may result in such an option being added in the future.

A recent addition has been a track night at Campbell Athletic Field, Canterbury each Thursday night (a grass track) at 6:30pm. This group does a variety of different interval and speed training sessions ranging from sprints to mile repeats. Some sessions also follow a pyramid structure. All levels of running ability are welcomed and catered for.

In the summer 'off' season, we organise for the runners Sunday morning runs with 10, 15 and 20 kilometre options. Throughout the year the club holds many internal events combining social and sporting elements.

We invite runners and walkers to run/walk with our club as visitors before deciding whether our club best suits their needs. We look forward to welcoming you!
