I have updated "our venues"

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, April 12, 2012 with
Parliament House: Mondays (October thru March) and Thursdays (April thru September)
Parking is at the underground car park as indicated by the red circle on the map below.


The main session starts at 5:30pm with a warm-up run followed by an interval training session at one of the many locations around Parliament House, for instance the Rose Garden to the East; the small oval to the west; the flagpoles to the North; or the tracks which surround the building.

A few of us meet at 4:30pm for an easy longer run before joining in with the main session.

Dickson Oval: Tuesdays (April thru September)
Parking is alongside the 8 lane 400m athletic track as indicated by the red circle


The main session starts at 5:30pm with a warm-up run followed by an interval training session on the 400m track under bright lights. Sometimes we also run up and down the small hills on the western side of the track.

A few of us meet at 4:00pm for a long hilly run before joining in with the main session.

Acton Ferry Terminal: Saturdays 8:00am year round
There is plenty of parking at the Acton Ferry Terminal car-park as indicated by the red circle.


This is a long run, and there is no set distance. Everyone starts together, usually at the same pace, which may pick up as newer runners complete their run.

Stromlo Forest Park: Sundays 8:00am when no other events scheduled
Park near the cross country track as indicated by the red circle. (Google Earth is ridiculously out of date for this one!)


We warm up around the cross country course then run an interval session. Or we might occasionally head around the Mount Stromlo area for a longer run.

We would expect to train here 1-3 times per month. Every Monday I will post coming events for the week. You may check this blog weekly to see if Sunday training is on, and to see if there are any last minute details about other training sessions.
