Every Saturday morning, our Kicrun Clubs meet to run together as a community across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and London. It’s a place for good vibes, connection and of course, coffee (or matcha, you do you). We spoke to one of our Melbourne Kicrun leads, Sharon, about why she’s been loving running with the community and just how special it can be.

When did you first join Kicrun Club?

I first joined the Kicrun Club in March 2024, only two months after officially downloading the Kic app. I had never ran more than 500m and I ended up running 4.7km at my very first IRL run club. Safe to say the rest was history!

What has being a part of the Kicrun Club taught you about yourself?

I’ve learnt that I am more than the little 12-year-old Sharon that was the slowest runner at school, that no one wanted on their relay team, that would get a stitch within 20 seconds of running. That the only person who can determine my capacity is me and that you don’t have to maintain a certain pace or look a certain way to run; you can do it your way and it’s enough – I’m enough.

What’s your fave part of running with the Melbourne Kic community?

I adore how everyone is each other’s absolute #1 cheerleader. You could have opted to walk instead of run that day, and guaranteed another person will opt to join you. Every single person there is ready to be cheering you on no matter what and I love it!!

Your fave memory so far from Kicrun Club?

Probably the Kicrun Club event with New Balance at Catani Gardens last year! The weather, the vibes, the excitement from the community and running my second longest distance at the time, with one of my besties by my side, was unmatched. Also who doesn’t love free coffee and freebies?!

Describe Kicrun Club in one word.

Wholesome.
