We want to be as inclusive as possible to our members, here is a link to an  ACCESSIBILITY FORM . Three of our committee are trained in disability inclusion training for sports coaches and can help make any accomodations necessary for you. 

Waterfront Running Club aims to encourage fitness and socialisation in a non-competitive environment. Our vision is to create a safe, friendly environment for people to be able to exercise and feel confident ultimately boosting mental health and decreasing stress.  
 

As a precaution, headphones are banned from runs to ensure the safety and awareness of all participants. Wearing headphones can significantly reduce a runner’s ability to hear important sounds, such as traffic, emergency vehicles, verbal instructions from run leaders, or warnings from fellow runners. This lack of awareness can increase the risk of accidents, especially when running on roads, trails, or in group settings where communication is essential. Additionally, being fully present and alert allows runners to better engage with the group, fostering a sense of community and improving the overall running experience. Prioritising safety and connection over personal music or podcasts ensures that everyone can enjoy the run responsibly.
