First, Pace 🏃🏼‍♀️☕️

Girls-only intro to running 🏃🏼‍♀️

First Pace is a movement club based around a weekly Thursday morning meet-up in Centennial Park, designed especially for those curious about running or anxious to give it a try. Thursdays are our dedicated beginner session, perfect for anyone who wants to walk, ease into running, or build confidence before ever stepping into a typical run club. Some Thursday sessions will be walk-only, while others will be gentle jog/walk intervals, always at an easy and welcoming pace. Afterwards, we get coffee at one of the parks cafes for a social to finish off the morning and make some new friends. Details: Centennial Park Homestead 6:30 am, Thursdays Bag drop and toilets available This club is for girls who value movement, good energy, and genuine connection. The goal is simple: start the day outdoors, move in a way that feels approachable, and stay for a coffee to meet likeminded people after ✨

Not the fastest runner in the group, but definitely one of the chattiest. Alex loves meeting new people and getting outside. She’s all about making running feel fun, social, and welcoming for everyone. ✨
