Fun-filled athletics in Sydney's Northern Beaches and the Mid-North Coast.
We provide a smooth transition from beginner fun to intermediate, all the way to invitation-only advanced runners. All ages, from pre-school to young adults.
Your journey starts today
Let's run together!
We are passionate about teaching children and adults a love of running through a dynamic and unique form of training. As running is the foundation of most sports, we strive to bring out the best in each individual.
It's more than running.
A way of life.
Beyond improving performance, we also build confidence, focus and concentration. We firmly believe that a strong mind and fit body are key components to success and happiness in life.
Our classes are aimed at developing good technique and a life-long desire to run and stay fit. By planting the seeds for success through individualised goal-setting, children learn about the pleasure of setting and achieving goals – all within a safe, monitored framework.
Teenagers, whose bodies and brains are going through tremendous physical and chemical changes throughout adolescence, benefit from physical challenges that either sharpen their existing sporting skills or establish the fitness foundation that they may not yet have developed.
Achieving personal bests in a social environment outside their usual circle of friends and school peers is very motivating.
Come join the fun - we're looking forward to meeting you!

"My children enjoy running because of Heather. Not only does she make it fun, she also teaches them skills and techniques to help them improve. Highly recommend Heather as a Coach."
"We were so lucky to come across Heather as a coach. My son needed coaching on running technique and speed to assist with his basketball and AFL (especially as he has suffered from Severs in the past). Heather is beyond amazing, with her expert guidance he has improved enormously and to date has had no injuries in his games thanks to her educating him on the importance of warming-up properly and stretching. We are so grateful to have Heather as a coach, her passion, drive and expert knowledge is just a bonus to how beautifully she interacts with all the kids she coaches. They adore her!"
"Heather and Kirsten are fabulous. My son loves running and they have helped him love running even more whilst teaching him some great skills to participate in racing. Their training is a lot of fun and they are incredibly dedicated to the kids."

My daughter has been training with Heather for a few years now and thanks to her, she has not only improved a huge amount but her love for running has just kept growing. Heather is such an amazing role model and genuinely cares about all of the kids she coaches - and they ALL adore her. Thank you Heather!"
"You are the best running coach ever! I love all the fun activities and how encouraging you are. Thank you for coaching me - Louis. It's been so exciting to watch this group develop under your mentorship, Kirsten. Not just the results but the confidence and self belief you give them will make such a difference as they take the next step to High School and beyond. We really appreciate the positive start you give them on Thursday mornings and all the extra support and encouragement you provide outside training too ❤❤ - Jenny"
