Good questions
All welcome
When is the first run?
The inaugural run is on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at 5:30pm, starting from Flagstaff Gardens in the Melbourne CBD — right in the middle of Melbourne Marathon Week.
Who can join?
Everyone. Whether you run every week or haven't laced up in years, you're welcome. No times, no trials, no one left behind.
How fast do we run?
Easy and conversational — around 6 minutes per kilometre. The final pace for the inaugural run will be confirmed closer to the date.
How far is the route?
About 5–6km, taking in Flagstaff Gardens, Carlton Gardens and beyond. Routes change week to week once the weekly rhythm kicks in.
What do I get at the inaugural run?
A limited edition ROI Run Club t-shirt — a one-off launch design — and a scoop of Mondo Coffee Gelato after the run.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The run, the tee and the gelato are on us for the inaugural run.
What should I bring?
Yourself, a pair of running shoes and some water. We'll handle the rest.
Ready?
See you on 7 October
