Gen Run & The Maroondah Runners Club

It is with great pleasure that I can now inform you all of our partnership with Maroondah City Council this year! Following on from the success of the four free community training sessions that were held at Croydon Athletics Track in the lead up to the 2015 Run Maroondah Fun Run Event, we will now be holding monthly sessions in 2016 with our first session kicking off next Wednesday 13th January at the Croydon Athletics Track/Tarralla Creek trail.

Once a month, I will be coaching these safe and inclusive running sessions. These free sessions will start at 6.30 pm and run for approximately one hour. Participants are not required to enter Run Maroondah 2016 or attend all sessions and children under 12 years of age who are participating in the sessions must be accompanied by an adult at all times. During daylight savings, the sessions will be held out on the bike/walking paths of Tarralla Creek, Ringwood Lake and Dandenong Creek Trails, then moving to the Croydon Athletics Track under lights for the darker months.

I would love to see our Gen Runners get involved in these sessions as a supplement to your current program where it suits. Don’t forget to tell your friends!
