INVITATIONAL RUNNERS (NON-MEMBERS)

Do you want to stay healthy and fit over winter? Improve your running? Come along to one of our races (distances vary) every Sunday morning from April to September in and around Geelong.

All ages, speeds and fitness levels welcome!

If you’re not sure if you would like to join as a member yet, we welcome you to come along as a invitational runner.

Despite the name, you don’t need to be formally invited to run, all are welcome to our friendly and inclusive club!

More details below and please find FAQs here.
