Wollongong Distance Runners Club

Wollongong Distance Runners Club The Wollongong Distance Runners Club (WDRC) is a group of friends from the South Coast of New South Wales. We live and train in Wollongong.

We aren’t the most active crew around and we don’t have ‘memberships’, everyone is welcome! Current members are actively training for, and competing in Marathon and Ultra Marathon events Australia wide. With finishes at The North Face 100, Great North Walk 100 Miler, and countless Marathons Australia wide, it's easy to see we have a passion for Running & exploring. With a recent change from Road events, to Trail Running, it has opened up a whole new training method and focus.

If you’re not following Hardcore Harry’s… get on it. I remember seeing some YouTube dude in Wintery UK do this challenge of 1km on Jan 1, increasing to 31km by Jan 31, and thinking ‘wow, that’s incredible’!

HH has kicked this off in Australia, and would you believe, there are still 3 at it in mid March? That means for the last 30 days or so, they’ve been running a marathon distance or more, edging closer to a double marathon.

Absolutely wild!

🏃‍♂️ From the coast to Kosci – for a ‘skin-deep’ cause!

You may remember our extraordinary Clinical Engineer (happy World Clinical Engineering Day!), Rene from a story we posted last November, sharing his incredible ultramarathon journey.

Well, this November he’s taking on the Coast to Kosci again, an ultramarathon from Boydtown Beach in Eden to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, that’s a 240km journey. This time round the journey is personal, with Rene raising funds for and awareness about skin cancer, following his own experience with the disease.

☀️ Rene’s message is simple: protect your skin, get regular checks, and never underestimate the power of prevention.

For more information or to follow his journey:

Join us in cheering Rene on as he tackles this incredible challenge and helps shine a light on skin cancer prevention across our community. 🌞
