Founders Running Club :: Melbourne

​Founders Running Club (FRC) is a global community of 50,000+ members across 45 countries, bringing founders, investors, tech, creative people and startup enthusiasts together for weekly easy runs.

​We started this group in 2023 as a few runners from startups around Melbourne. Over the years we’ve made friends from many paths, and whether startups are your whole career or just a curiosity, that’s our common ground. As the first Australian chapter of FRC 🇦🇺, we’re now part of that global community, and a platform to connect with the broader Aussie startup community.

​📅 Weekly 5K, all paces welcome

​🏃 We run alongside Parkville parkrun (500+ participants), with a first timer’s briefing if you’re new

​⏰ Gather from 7:50am, run at 8am, hang in the park until ~8:45, then ☕🥐 at a nearby café

​📸 And post-run photographic evidence, of course

​First time? No sign-up needed. Grab a free barcode at parkrun.com.au to track your time and stats. Just gather in the park after the run and ask around if you can’t spot us, we’re friendly 😊

​Bring a friend? Always. +1s encouraged, we’re not that scary.
