UQ Social Runners Club

UQ SRC is a running club that is cheap and easy to participate in. We hold weekly meets and run or walk - we don't mind. Grab some mates and keep fit!

UQ SRC aims to cater to running enthusiasts of all skill and experience levels. Whether you are interested in fitness, looking to get into running, or already quick on your feet, we run at any speed to suit your fitness level.

We usually chat as we run, getting to know new members or catching up with regulars. To keep things fresh, we like to change up our meeting locations every so often and try out new and exciting routes. Be sure to check out our Facebook page to keep up to date with meeting locations. Also check our Facebook @UQ SRC for our schedule each semester!

We have a variety of runs including both morning and afternoon sessions as well as weekly interval training and long runs. In addition to these, we participate in ‘Parkrun’ events together, which are free timed 5km races held on Saturdays at 7am in parks across Brisbane. In the past, we have formed teams and trained to participate in the Bridge to Brisbane (10km) and UQ Twilight Running Festival (21.1km), meeting up afterwards to hang out and refuel at a food spot. Occasionally one of our weekly runs will be a ‘Red Room Run’, where after our usual 5km, we all head over to the Red Room, put on a bar tab and grab some food and drinks together. Dates and details for all of these are posted to our Facebook page.

We can’t wait to meet you and go running together!

I'm not a very fast runner do you have slower runs?

Runners of all paces are welcome. We usually have several small groups which stick together and run at different paces. You’ll always have someone to run with!

What other activities does the club participate in?

The club partakes in a number of different activities including collaborative events with other clubs (e.g. the Glowstick Run event with the UQ Chemistry Club), frequent Parkruns, hiking trips and much more!

Where do you meet for the runs?

At the start of every semester we meet up on the patch of grass next to the UQ Boatsheds, Netball Courts and Athletic Track. We like to change up our meeting locations throughout the semester to keep things fresh so be sure to regularly check the Facebook page and your emails to stay up to date.
