  • What an action-packed weekend in Melbourne! 💙🧡

There was no better way to celebrate International Frontrunners Day 2026 @internationalfrontrunners than with three runs across the city. The sun was out, the smiles were big, and our community showed up in force.

Great runs, plenty of laughs, and even better company.

Come run with Melbourne Frontrunners. The pace is optional. The good times are guaranteed. 💙🧡

  • Three legends. Three huge challenges. One unforgettable weekend.

Melbourne Frontrunners took on Ultra-Trail Australia in the heart of the Blue Mountains.

50km. 100km. 163km.

The grit, resilience, and determination on display was incredible. Our heroes out there representing the club with pride.

Inspirational from start to finish. 💙🧡
  • What a weekend at the Great Ocean Road Running Festival. 💙🧡

Melbourne Frontrunners represented. We climbed the hills, conquered the distances, cheered each other on, and had an unforgettable weekend together.

This club is more than running. It’s community, friendships, road trips, finish lines, and plenty of fun along the way.

  • Meet Stevie. ❤️🌈

Three sessions a week.
Rain, wind, darkness, chaos. Stevie’s there.

Some people make a club feel welcoming from the second you arrive.
At Melbourne Frontrunners, Stevie is one of those people.

Reliable. Dependable.
One of the first friendly faces many members meet.

And somehow always encouraging, even when everyone is pretending the session “doesn’t look that bad.”

Great coach.
Even better friend.

Watch Stevie.
Then come say hello in person.
