RISE AND RUN AND

The Morning Club is a vibrant community built around connection, movement, and shared energy.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, we welcome all paces and styles. Our mission is to make running not only approachable but an uplifting experience for everyone.

Let's move together, build friendships, and energise your mornings (and enjoy a coffee at the end)…

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • We meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Dolce Terra Cafe in Manly.

  • We always start and finish at Dolce Terra and head down Raglan Street towards the beachfront, hitting the pathway and sending it down to Queenscliff surf club (this is where the 3KM runners turn around). The rest of the crew runs to the end of Lagoon Reserve and turns around at Pittwater Road and heads back along the beachfront to Manly surf club (this is where the 5KM runners turn around). The 7KM crew then heads out to Shelly and back to Dolce Terra to meet everyone for coffee and banter at the end!

  • Our run has 3 options of distance, 3, 5 or 7KM.

  • All paces are welcome! Whether you're a fast runner or prefer a light jog, we encourage everyone to move at their own speed. We have people of all ages and paces running with us ranging from sub 4:30/km to well above 7:30/km and even a walking group.

  • Not at all! We welcome runners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes. The goal is to get moving in the morning and enjoy a coffee and chat at the end.

  • Our club is free to join! The Morning Club is all about community and connection through movement, so just bring yourself.

  • We recommend bringing yourself, a friend (although you can make plenty with us), comfortable running gear, proper running shoes and anything else you need! Plus you can drop a bag at the beginning if you need to.
