About South Bank Runners

South Bank Runners is a volunteer-run running club based on the river in South Brisbane, meeting at the base of the Kurilpa Bridge near GOMA. It brings together a friendly, social community of runners who train together through the week, blending structured sessions with the camaraderie that keeps people coming back.

The club is deliberately inclusive, welcoming everyone from people tackling their first parkrun through to seasoned marathoners and ultra-runners. Weekly sessions mix interval work, endurance running and a relaxed social long run, and members can follow set training programs aimed at improving times and reaching personal goals, whether that is a sub-19 parkrun or a first marathon.

Reviewers repeatedly highlight how supportive, motivating and affordable the club is, crediting it with faster times, weight loss, completed marathons and lasting friendships. For South Brisbane locals and central-city runners looking for accountability, coaching structure and genuine community without a big price tag, South Bank Runners offers a welcoming home base for runners of every level and ambition.
