Weekly Thursday Runs
For the past two years, we have met each Thursday evening at 5:30pm for a social run.
We meet at Coffs Harbour Yacht Club for a 6.5km social run around the beautiful jetty foreshores.
There is usually 15-30 of us so come along and meet like minded people.
We have a chat and optional beer afterwards at Coffs Harbour Yacht Club.
Weekend Adventure Runs
On average, about once a month, we have a weekend adventure run on some of the best trails in the area.
While these range in difficulty, we do best to ensure there are options for all fitness levels.
Details of our weekend adventure runs are posted in our Facebook Group.
