UQ Social Runners Club

UQ SRC is a running club for anyone and everyone! We host runs, walks, and events most days of the week for people of all skill and experience levels, so you can join us as much or as little as you’d like. If you’re keen to get active and make a bunch of friends along the way, then this is the club for you!

We usually chat as we run, getting to know each other while keeping fit at the same time. Most days we meet on campus, so you can drop in after class and enjoy a run with us. Our most common runs are Social Runs, where we run or walk at conversational pace, whatever that happens to be for you. We also have Casual Runs which are geared towards new runners, and Interval Training sessions for anyone looking to increase their speed. Occasionally, we also have morning Café Runs and Southbank Long Runs.

In addition to our Weekly Runs, we also host several running-based events throughout the year, including two Running Festivals, Redroom Runs, Pizza Runs, Giant Tiggy, Donut Dash, Glowstick Run, and much more!

Two highlights on the UQ SRC calendar are our biggest social events of the year, Semester 1 Pubcrawl and Semester 2 Ball. Join all your new running buddies at two of the best parties of the year!

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.
