The ERNIE Run Club

Meet The ERNIE Run Club—your ticket to fun, fitness, and friendly faces in Red Hill and Inner Brisbane. The club was started for one simple reason: running is better together. Whether you’re new to running, returning after a break, or just want a relaxed way to stay active, The ERNIES welcome all paces and personalities. They pride themselves on a lighthearted, inclusive vibe—“Easy Runners with No Intention of Excelling” is their motto—but don’t let that fool you. These runs are about enjoying the journey, making friends, and experiencing the outdoors, whatever your fitness level.The ERNIES meet regularly for a mix of runs. Every Wednesday, join the “Hump Day Run” starting at 5:30am from the carpark near Red Hill Community Centre Sports Club (22 Fulcher Rd)—a 10km route along the bikeway to Northey Street Markets, but you can turn back anytime for a shorter distance. Fridays bring the “Flats Run” at 5:45am from Des Connor Park (Marist Bridge), also around 10km, with the route changing weekly. Sundays are for a long, slow 25km run—details shared a few days beforehand on their Strava page.There’s no need to RSVP, no fees, and no pressure—just show up and run (or walk) as far as you like. The group also organizes outings to fun runs and trail events, has its own singlet, and all activities are covered by club insurance. If you’re looking for a running club that values friendship and fun as much as fitness, The ERNIE Run Club is your local crew. Come for the run, stay for the coffee, and leave with new friends—all in the heart of Red Hill.
