Victoria Queer Run Club aims to race past exclusion

Victoria Queer Run Club founder Leah Fulton says the group creates a welcoming space for runners at a time when there seems to be less inclusivity in events.

The birth of the Victoria Queer Run Club, and how it could inspire you

The Victoria Queer Run Club launched in the summer of 2024 with two runners. Six months later, it has three regular run groups and a budding community. We hear how it started, and learn how anyone could be inspired to start their own community group - running or otherwise.

The gear that takes us further

Gear shapes how we move. Visibility isn’t just about standing out, it’s about being seen, represented, and a sense of belonging.
