From first runs to finish lines.

A free community Run Club helping our Sydenham community build confidence, improve fitness and work towards real running goals together.

About EA Run Club

We have seen members go from never running in their lives to completing 5km courses, progressing to 10km, and even smashing out 14.4km events. Some members are now training towards half marathon and full marathon distances, proving that with the right support, structure and consistency, running goals that once felt impossible can become achievable.

As a community, Elite Athletic members have taken part in events including 2XU Wellness Run supporting Beyond Blue and Run for the Kids. Our next registered event is the Melbourne Marathon 10km, with members currently building towards race day.
