Lace up your runners and get your sweatbands on, Point Cook runners are looking for new members to join their club.
This isn’t a case of struggling for members. In fact, the club, established about 10 years ago, has never been stronger.
However, with the surge in runners over the past few years, it is focused on making sure people know where to go and how they can be part of a running community.
“We run all over the west and everyone’s welcome to come and join us,” club president Stephen Fee said.
“We have members in Point Cook, Altona, Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing and a couple in Tarneit.“
Point Cook Runners not only offer regular runs – members can also enjoy a variety of social events throughout the year including a bowling day, a Christmas party, and nights to the footy.
The club partakes in a number of interstate and even international events from the LA and Tokyo marathons to the City to Surf in Sydney and Run For the Kids in Melbourne.
“We’ve got different races that we enter, weekends away and social events so it makes it a fun, friendly club to be a part of,” Mr Fee said.
The group trains on Tuesdays, Thursdays, with parkruns on Saturday mornings and a long run on Sunday.
Members have access to five Athletics Victoria-trained coaches who lead sessions every Tuesday and Thursday evening at the Saltwater Reserve during winter.
