Sydney Marathon week just got a little more interesting… introducing the first-ever Singles Shakeout.

Because apparently “we met while running” is the new “we matched on an app”.

Trade the swiping, small talk and endless “hey, how’s your week?” convos for fresh air, endorphins and actual face-to-face connection.

Join The Singles Run Club for a chill 5K shakeout run before race day – where the goal isn’t a PB, it’s meeting someone new.

And before you ask… you do not need to be running the Sydney Marathon to join us.

Whether you’re racing, training, casually jogging, getting back into running, or just here because meeting someone over a drink feels a little too predictable – everyone is welcome.

🏃‍♀️ Sydney Singles Shakeout

Think of it as speed dating’s cooler, sweatier cousin.

We’ll take care of the awkward bit by helping you:

✨ Find your running crew (and maybe your person)
We’ll match you into groups based on personality and vibes — not pace.

💬 Skip the boring questions
We’ll bring the convo starters so you don’t have to rely on “so… what do you do?”

🏃‍♀️ Enjoy a no-pressure 5K shakeout
No racing. No chasing. No pretending you’re a 4:30/km runner because someone cute is nearby.

🍻 Keep the convo going after the run
Join us for drinks, laughs and the chance to actually get to know people back at the bar.

🎲 Singles Bingo, prizes + a few surprises
Because a little friendly competition never hurt anyone.

🌹 Why The Singles Run Club?

✓ Everyone’s here for the same reason – no guessing, no games
✓ Real, sweaty people, not curated profiles
✓ Low pressure – come for the run, stay for the connections
✓ Bring a single mate for moral support
✓ Leave with a date, a new friend, or at the very least a funny story

Because the best connections usually happen when you stop looking at your phone and start looking around.

So Sydney… lace up, shake it out, and come see who you run into.

Your hosts,
Tara & Ben 💋
