Woodstock Runners has been meeting to run and walk since 1980. We cater for runners and walkers of all abilities and our members range in age from 15 to 83 years. We encourage members to participate in fun runs/walks both as individuals and as part of a team.
Our coached sessions occur at 6:30pm on the grass tracks at King George Park, Rozelle on Monday and at Campbell Athletic Field, Canterbury on Thursday nights. Both nights are led by Athletic NSW accredited volunteer coaches, leading runners through a variety of different interval and speed training sessions ranging from sprints to mile repeats. Some sessions also follow a pyramid or fartlek structure. A warm up, cool down and stretches are included as part of the session. All levels of running ability are welcomed and catered for.
On Saturday mornings, Woodstock Runners are avid participants in various Parkrun communities across Sydney, NSW and Australia.
On Sunday mornings, those looking to do longer training runs will embark long runs, usually between 15-30km. The Sunday group are self organised with pre-agreed routes via the members dedicated Facebook page that cater for similar paced runners. While these runs continue throughout the year, there is a key focus in the lead up to the major city marathons, such as Canberra, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne.
Throughout the year, the club also holds many internal events combining social and sporting elements. On certain Saturdays throughout the year, there is a Handicap race series which is held around the Bay Run (7km), and also a 5km track time trial series held as part of the Thursday night training group. Woodstock Runners has also hosted community runs, open and free for all to join, such as the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon Run Club series. Keep an eye on the Woodstock Runner Instagram and Facebook pages for the next opportunities.
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!
