We are delighted to announce a partnership with Bridge Road Brewery! To celebrate this, join us on the 5th June for a Group Run followed by lunch and a brew at the Brewery. Find the Facebook Event Here

Parking at 1 Church Street, Beechworth. There is ample parking and toilets plus walking distance to the Brewery.

Spread the word, bring your mates, and invite the family for post-run festivities. Hope to see you there! 🙌

Calling all young girls! This group run is aimed at teens & pre-teens. Find the Facebook Event Here.

With global running day just around the corner, here at Dawn League we have been brainstorming and thought it would be great to organise a run for the girls.

Depending on the response we get it could be a once every 2 month type of thing or it could be a one off.

We were looking to plan a group run for teens and pre teens to be able to come along for a 3-4km jog to meet other like minded girls and to help them feel like they are part of our community.

We know it’s tricky for girls (and women) to always feel safe when out running and we have been fortunate enough to create a great community of strong women and we wanted to extend that to include the next generation.

It would be great for the girls to feel comfortable asking any of the older girls to pair up so that perhaps they can get out for a jog more often or to encourage and perhaps even guide them on their running journey. Running doesn’t have to be a solo sport and let’s be honest it’s far more fun when you get to share it with a friend!

We’re hoping to create an inclusive and safe environment for all girls to continue to develop their love of running.

Run pace will be adjusted to suit and we will run with a lead and a tail runner so no one falls behind!

First run will be starting and finishing at Frankie’s (starting from the car park opposite Frankies so we don’t start with a road crossing).

Parents can come on the run or they can wait for us at Frankie’s. We’re hoping everyone can hang around for a coffee, hot choc, or the likes afterward to meet some new faces but absolutely no pressure at all.

Shout out to Bel or Shivonne if you have any questions and please share with any parents/girls you think might be interested.

Come and join us at the Yack Tracks for another group run Sunday 23rd April. These are great single tracks, undulating and beautiful, with very clear signage. Find the Facebook Event Here.

4 Options:

• 12.5km Pink Loop:

  • Start 07:15 - 5k RP* >26mins.

  • Start 07:30 - 5k RP* 21mins - 26mins.

  • Start 07:45 - 5k RP* <21mins.

• 18km Yellow Loop:

  • Start 07:15 - 5k time <21mins.

Finishing up at The Star Hotel for coffee at 09:30. Spread the word and bring your mates! 🙌

*5k race pace used as a guide since Yack is quite technical and hard to give an average pace guide/can be deceptive.

Come and join us as we team up with local running group Dawn League to welcome the On-running crew to O-health! Find the Facebook Event Here.

We attempted to host this event last year, but Covid had other plans...
We are VERY excited to be bringing this event back for you all on April 22.

The On-running team will have plenty of demo shoes for people to trial, we will have some fun with a couple of runs, there will be a presentation from the On team, and we will finish off the night with some pizza and refreshments.

6:05pm | On-running presentation
