The Fit Café Running Club.
Every Wednesday · 5:00 PM ·
Ernest Ullmann Park
Free to join. Open to everyone. No time pressure, no pace requirement, no reason not to come.
Whether you walk 2.5km around the park or run 5km through the neighbourhood — you finish at more or less the same time, at the same place, with the same people. Dogs welcome. Kids welcome. Post-run drinks at Fit Café.
Show up. That's Step One
The Detail — What to Expect
The club meets every Wednesday at 5:00 PM at Fit Café inside Ernest Ullmann Park. From there it splits into two groups — both leave together, both finish together.
Walking Group — 2.5km
A 2.5km route through the park. Easy pace, good company. Ideal if you are just getting back into movement, prefer to walk, or want to bring the kids and the dog without the pressure of keeping up with a running group.
Running Group — 5km
A 5km neighbourhood route through the streets around Ernest Ullmann Park. Led by Carlo. No pace requirement — the goal is to finish, not to race.
Finish Time
Both groups are back at Fit Café between 5:30 PM and 5:45 PM. Close enough to end together.
After the Run
Fit Café is open after the run. Grab a drink, order dinner, or stay and talk. This is the part that turns a running club into a community.
