Run club in Sydney
Sydney University Athletic Club (SUAC) is an athletics club founded in 1878, described as the oldest continuing athletics club in Australia, with a history of club, national, Olympic and Paralympic athletes. It offers coached sprint, middle distance and distance training year round at Moore Park and Centennial Park, and says people of all levels and abilities are welcome. Typical sessions are track-based squad training for sprinters or group middle distance and distance running from Fairland Pavilion in Centennial Park.
Sessions cover sprints, middle distance and distance running in the Moore Park and Centennial Park precincts and run all year round. Distance and middle-distance groups meet at Fairland Pavilion in Centennial Park (Wednesday evening and Saturday morning), while sprint groups train at ES Marks Athletics Field, Centennial Park or Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre, with separate introductory and competitive sprint groups. The Monday 18:00 session at ES Marks is exclusive free access for SUAC members of all levels. Minimum age for training is 16 (the Tuesday and Thursday junior sprint sessions are the exception), and athletes are expected to commit to at least two coached sessions a week. Strength and conditioning is also available to registered athletes. Registration fees and training fees are separate, with training fees quoted directly by the coaches; prospective members join via the Registration page or the Expression of Interest form on the club website. University of Sydney students and staff also have access to RUNSYDUNI, a free on-campus fun run with weekly free training sessions, and free lunchtime social sprint sessions for students run on Mondays 13:00-14:00 on The Square at Sydney Uni during a set block in Semester 2.
