Richmond Harriers

Richmond Harriers is a friendly, long-standing running club based at Citizens Park in Richmond, offering a welcoming home for runners of every pace and ambition. With a wide variety of runs across the week, the club has built a reputation as one of the more inclusive and community-minded running groups in inner Melbourne.

What sets the Harriers apart is how genuinely they listen to their members. The club has surveyed runners and introduced slower-paced options so nobody gets left behind, balancing relaxed social runs with structured sessions for those chasing improvement. Experienced coaches lead regular training, while the social Wednesday evening run gives newcomers an easy, no-pressure way to turn up and give the club a try.

The community feeling is a recurring theme among members, many of whom describe fellow runners becoming firm friends. Alongside casual and social running, the club fields plenty of participation in regional and statewide events, and hosts its own free winter races for members. With youth options like Tiger Cubs as well, Richmond Harriers caters to families, social joggers and competitive runners alike, all united by a shared love of getting out and running together in Richmond.
