Where & When

Sessions are hled on Saturday at 6.30am and Tuesday at 6.30pm. Meet at the WLC Entrance. As the Centre is not open until 7am on a Saturday, make sure you bring water with you and have used the bathroom before you arrive.

Running Gear

• Good comfortable running shoes are the most important item you'll need. Depending on how often you run, if you haven't replaced your shoes in 12 months, it might be time to break in a new pair.
• Try to wear clothing that breathes - most brands have fabrics that wick away the moisture and are designed to keep you cool or warm depending on the outdoor temerature.
• Fluids – water is best carried in a fuel belt or back pack. Carrying a bottle can throw your stride off and become annoying. Try to hydrate well before running.
