Frequently Asked Questions
Is running a winter or summer sport in Australia?
Running happens year-round, but training patterns shift with seasons. Winter is peak training season (cooler, better for distance). Summer requires early/late runs to avoid peak heat, and winter has its own challenges with cold and rain. Check your local running club for their seasonal programming.
What equipment do I need to start running?
Start with comfortable running shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, water and sun protection. You do not need a watch or specialist gear for most beginner sessions. Ask the organiser whether the route has water stops, requires a headlamp or reflective clothing, or involves trails where different footwear may be useful.
Can I join a running club if I can't run five kilometres yet?
Yes, provided the club offers a suitable pace or beginner program. Ask whether walking and run-walk intervals are welcome, what distance the group covers and whether it regroups so nobody is left behind. A gradual first five-kilometre plan can help, but you do not need to reach that distance before contacting a club.
What's the difference between a running club and a race training group?
A running club may offer social runs, club competition and sessions for several paces throughout the year. A race-training group usually follows a time-limited plan for a particular distance or event, with workouts such as intervals, tempo runs and long runs. Some clubs provide both, so compare the pace requirements, coaching and attendance commitment.
Do I need a coach to run faster?
Not required, but coaching helps with pacing, technique, and training plans. Many runners improve through consistent group running plus occasional coached sessions. Ask your running club for coaching recommendations.
Is it safe to run during hot weather?
Running in heat is possible but requires caution—proper hydration, sun protection, and listening to your body. Check the best time of day to exercise to avoid peak heat, and ask your running group about their hot-weather policies and best practices for staying safe.
What's the difference between a social group and lessons/coaching?
A social group usually focuses on regular, informal participation and meeting people, with less individual instruction. Lessons and coaching are led by an instructor and follow a more structured approach to developing skills, technique or fitness. Some activities combine both, so check whether a listing is social, coached or a mix before joining.
How do I find the right activity for my skill level?
Start with the age and activity filters, then check the listing for terms such as beginner, social, intermediate, advanced or all abilities. Look for the expected pace, distance, rules and equipment as well as the skill label. If anything is unclear, tell the organiser about your experience and ask what a typical first session involves.
Are activities free or do they cost money?
KeepActive lists both free and paid activities. Use the 'Show Free Activities Only' filter for no-cost options. Paid activities may charge per session, by term, through a membership or for venue hire, so check what the advertised price includes and ask about trial sessions, equipment hire and additional registration fees.
How do I join a group or sign up for lessons?
Click on the group listing to find their contact details, then reach out directly via their website or phone number. KeepActive helps you discover activities, but the organiser handles bookings and registration.
Do I need to commit to a group long-term?
Not always. Some social activities welcome casual drop-ins, while leagues, term-based lessons and coached programs may require registration for a season or set number of sessions. Check the cancellation policy, attendance expectations and payment terms with the organiser before committing.
Why should I join a social group instead of exercising alone?
Group activity can add routine, encouragement and accountability while giving you a regular way to meet people with a shared interest. It is not automatically better than exercising alone, but many people find the social commitment helps them stay consistent. Read more about group versus solo exercise and making friends through shared activities.
