23.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone, Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, we've had to cancel tonight's training session.

Feel free to meet at the pavilion next to the footy oval at 5:30pm and either go for your own run, run with others, or complete one of the options below: Option A: Gardiners Creek easy run up to Sta...tion St bridge and back (as many times as you like) Option B: Gardiners Creek Tempo run (same route, run up and back 2-3 times) Option C: On footy oval, run along the boundary to the goals, walk back through the middle of the oval as recovery. Repeat 10 times Option D: 3 minutes w/ 3min rest (x3) 2 minutes w/2min rest (x2) 1 minute flat out Once again guys we do apologise. Hope to be running with everyone again soon. The DURC team

12.01.2022 What is your favourite running memory? Mine would have to be crossing the finish line at the 2017 Osaka Marathon. Despite my body cramping up multiple times in the last 10km and giving everything I had, the elation of completing that race is something I will never forget. We want to know your favourite running memory? Was it when you received a finishers medal for the first time? Or perhaps when you finally beat that PB you've been chasing for a long time? Let us know in th...e comments below to go into the draw to win a pair of Steigen running socks of your choice. Entries close 5pm Wednesday April 22!

11.01.2022 We now have a Strava club!!! For those on Strava, we now have a club set up for everyone to upload their runs if they wish.

Keep on running everyone!

07.01.2022 We are currently aware that multiple students have been receiving information from their unit chairs about their subjects, including that some have been cancelled and are moving online. We understand that this may create some uncertainty about the status of our training sessions. We are confirming that training for tonight and for the time being is going ahead as planned. This is a tricky time for everyone, especially for us as a brand new club. We are reviewing all possible options at this stage, and will communicate these to members should we need to. Should you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us via direct message or email. For the mean time, continue to look after yourselves, and keep running! The DURC Team

06.01.2022 Only a few days to go until our first ever training session. Weve given the venue a test and were all good to go. Meet down at the footy oval on Tuesday for a 5:30pm start. All abilities welcome. We hope to see you there!

05.01.2022 Important update regarding COVID-19: DUSA continues to be in communication with all clubs in relation to the current situation we are facing. As a result, all face to face events, including weekly training sessions have been cancelled until after April 30. This is being reviewed in mid-April and could potentially be extended. We as a club will continue to update you with any changes that we receive. This is a very challenging time for everyone. We ask that people continue t...o look after themselves and put their health first as a priority. If you feel you need assistance during this time, please reach out to Deakin's support services in the link below https://www.deakin.edu.au//health-and-wellbeing/counselling While we will be out of action for some time, we will be aiming to create weekly competitions for people to easily participate in online, with various prizes given out. We will also provide ways to continue to stay active during this time, as well as running advice and other related information. We will aim to work through this over the next week. Again, if you have any ideas for competitions or content that you'd like to see, please don't hesitate to contact us. Continue to stay safe everyone. We can't wait to be back out running with you soon. The DURC Team

03.01.2022 Important information regarding COVID-19: We have been constantly receiving updates from Deakin and DUSA regarding the current situation that we are facing.

We may choose an alternate date at some point,and this will be discussed in due course. To those who have already purchased tickets, please message the page or email us. ... - During the University class suspension period (18/3-27/3), all training sessions will be cancelled. Please be aware that this period may be extended, and we may be forced to cancel further sessions.
