Manly Beach Running Club

Manly Beach Running Club is a vibrant, community-driven running group based in Manly on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Since 2012, we've been bringing runners of all levels together for expert-led social runs every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 5:30am from Manly Surf Club. Our membership is incredibly affordable at just $50 per year with no lock-in contracts, making quality coaching accessible to everyone.

Founded and led by Head Coach Joe Ward, an accomplished ultra-marathon runner and nationally-titled athlete with over fifteen years of coaching experience, we offer personalised TrainingPeaks training programs tailored to your goals, whether you're chasing your first 5K or preparing for an ultra-marathon. What sets us apart is our emphasis on community and support—we're not just a running group, we're a family of like-minded athletes who genuinely lift each other up. Our members rave about the inclusive, encouraging atmosphere and the proven results our structured, expert-led approach delivers.

Train with purpose in one of Sydney's original run clubs and discover what you're truly capable of.
