Queer Run Club

Queer Running Collective (QRC)

is a safe and inclusive space for queer and trans individuals to run together. We focus on building community, free from judgment or fear. After each run, we host a social to connect and get to know one another.

Our sessions are one hour long, fully coached by Kole Fulmine and Sam Purnell, with group leaders Dalia Saris and Luke Kene. If you can comfortably run 5km, feel free to join our Tuesday evening runs. If you're new to running, check out our quarterly Open Evenings for a welcoming introduction.
