Welcome to the Soutport Runners and Walkers Club. The club was formed in January
2004 to fill a void at the Northern end of the Gold Coast. Southport Runners and Walkers is informal and very casual
in its approach to running and walking .
The club meets every Sunday at the northern end of Southport Olympic Pool where we have a club
house in the pool grounds.(There is no charge to enter the precinct) All ages and abilities are catered for with distances
from 5 km through to 20 kms. Different courses are set each week, usually north or south along the picturesque Broadwater
and sometimes taking the Federation Walk up the Seaway.
Many members competed in the Gold Coast Marathon Day events with participation in the marathon
through to the 7.5 km walk.
There is a small annual fee and a gold coin donation
each time you run or if you are a visitor, to cover the cost of fresh fruit, that is always provided at the end
of your walk or run. All monies collected go back to the members, a free barbeque is held every month or six weeks.
A popular part of the Sunday morning is to have coffee and raisin toast at the Pool's Terrace
Cafe after the morning activities. A swim or deep water running is also available for a reduced price (paid to pool).
During the summer months we start as close to 6.30am as possible and in the winter 7.00am
is the preferred start time.
You will be made most welcome from like minded people who enjoy physical activity followed by
fresh fruits, coffee and toast etc.
What a way to start your Sunday and so Very G.C......!
PS: CASUAL VISITORS/HOLIDAY MAKERS MOST WELCOME
