The Best Run Clubs in Melbourne for Fitness and Fun

Ready to join in the fitness fun of Melbourne’s running scene, but not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered. Lace up your Nikes and join the thousands of Melbournians already taking part in the latest running craze with our guide to the best run clubs in Melbourne.

Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, a casual jogger, or just getting started, Melbourne is home to welcoming running groups to suit every pace and passion. You’ll sweat, smile, and share plenty of laughter and milestones (get that Strava app ready) with fellow enthusiasts as you run across Melbourne. 

RUNVO Run Club – Cremorne

There’s something oddly spiritual about a Saturday morning jog that begins and ends with buttery pastries and expertly poured coffee. RUNVO Run Club, based out of Cremorne’s industrial-chic On Air cafe, manages to bottle that elusive trifecta of movement, community and caffeination.

This isn’t the domain of stopwatch obsessives. Instead, you’ll find a cheery throng pounding the pavement along a 5km Yarra loop at a pace best described as “social.” Music is pumping, spirits are high, and the crowd is delightfully mixed — think first-timers rubbing shoulders with seasoned Strava warriors, all drawn by the sheer joy of motion and mateship.

Post-run, it’s back to On Air for the real reward: almond croissants, oat lattes and the kind of camaraderie that can only be earned with a light sheen of sweat. Inclusive, energising and impeccably stylish — if Cremorne had a heartbeat, this would be it.

Run times: Every Saturday, 8am

25 Stephenson Street, Cremorne
