Its emphasis is on participation, with everyone from beginners to experienced athletes welcome and events organised by age group and standard. Typical running activity is a monthly handicap run on forests and trails around Canberra, plus distance and sprint events during the summer track and field season.

Membership is open to men and women aged 30 and over, with around 220 current members, and performances are recorded in five-year age groups. Running activities include monthly running handicaps on forest and trail courses around Canberra, with short and long course options, and the summer track and field season at Woden Park, which includes sprints and middle and long distance runs alongside throws, jumps and walks. Handicap events are a feature of the programme, and participants take part in heats or groups matched to their own standard. The club also runs an annual Masters Half Marathon (now a postal event) and social activities including monthly dinners, with tea and biscuits after most events.
