Introducing the club

The Alice Springs running and Walking club was established 21 years ago. Over the years, we have averaged 100+ members yearly, and many of the present members have been with the club since its inception.

We hold regular events throughout the year in both summer and winter conditions. Some events such as the Bizcom 10 Classic are run on sanctioned courses including our popular Alice Springs Marathon which often attracts overseas and interstate visitors. We also hold cross country events and fun run/walks.

All events are held in stunning countryside under clear blue skies. We have regular training sessions, both am and pm, and are presently preparing a program for a team to compete in Sydney prior to the Olympic Games on the actual games marathon course.

The Alice Springs Running and Walking Club welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, and we extend an invitation to visitors to join us in our training sessions and or club events. Contact one of the committee members or meet us on location. Training times are listed with the Events Calendar below.

Persons intending to visit Alice Springs are invited to check out the Alice Springs official web page.
