South Bank Runners

2026 WAZZA CUP PROGRAM LAUNCH 🏆🏁💛💙 Save the date for September 27th for the annual SBR Wazza Cup 10km and our club 7th Birthday 🎉🎂 This 12 week program will help you build some speed to run your best 10K yet and compete for the coveted Wazza Cup. This program also coincides closely with Bridge to Brisbane so training will benefit B2B races as well- though we all know which event is more prestigious 😉🏆

These are just some of our incredible South Bank Runners taking on the Gold Coast Marathon festival this weekend 💛💙 16+ weeks of sweat, smiles, maybe some tears to put it all on the line on race day. Good luck to all runners at GCM, have a blast out there 💪

SBR PARKRUN TAKEOVER 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💛💙

Keep an eye on our socials around September 👀

Another one for the history books. Huge congratulations to our amazing members for competing in the Brisbane Marathon Festival 2026 💙💛

Huge shout out John & Susan Gan for the incredible support and photography 📸

At the end we always remind ourselves why we race… for medals and bananas! 🍌 🥇

SBR x UPSTATE STUDIOS 💪🧘🧘‍♂️ Yesterday the team worked up a different kind of sweat thanks to a Pilates strength class hosted by West End. Strength training is an essential component of endurance run training and incorporating it into your program can help prevent injuries and improve performance 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Huge thanks to Upstate for hosting, they have a huge range of Pilates and yoga classes at their new studio in West End 💛💙

We’re officially over halfway through our 16-week Gold Coast Marathon program with only 7 weeks to go! 👏

This is where the training really starts to count. The long runs are getting longer, fatigue starts creeping in, and recovery becomes just as important as the kilometres you’re clocking.

A reminder to:
🏃 Listen to your body
🧘 Keep stretching and recovering
💪 Stay consistent with strength work
⚠️ Don’t ignore little niggles before they become injuries

A huge thank you to Physio Shayle for joining us after training last night for our Strength Training for Runners session 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️ Sharing tips and knowledge around injury prevention, mobility and strength work to help keep everyone healthy and strong heading into the peak weeks of the program.

The hard work is building now — but so is the fitness 🔥

Together we run stronger 💙💛 please see our bio for our training program!

HOBART MARATHON TAKEOVER 🏔️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏁
Last Sunday our SBR team conquered the Hobart Marathon Festival, braving the cold, wind and hills of the southernmost capital. We fielded the second largest team at the event across all distances including 3 pacers in the marathon. With several first time marathon finishers, PBs and great vibes on the course there were smiles all round 😁💙💛
