Social Sprints is a low-commitment way for adults in the wider community to try sprinting, running and athletics.
You do not need previous athletics experience. You do not need to already be fast or fit. And you do not need to commit to a training block or conventional athletics squad. We are here to help you get started.
When? Tuesday 4:00–5:00 pm
Where? UQ Athletics Centre, St Lucia
Duration? 60 minutes
Price? $7 UQ Student, $12 Community, or other partner pricing
Commitment? Book individual sessions when they suit you.
If you can't make it but would love to give Social Sprints a try please contact us to learn about how other squads!
Sessions are coached but relaxed and may include:
sprint technique and acceleration
running and fitness activities
relays and challenges
informal races
introductory athletics skills
Activities can be adapted for different experience and fitness levels.
Social Sprints may suit you if you:
have never tried athletics before
want to become faster or fitter
want a more social way to exercise
play another sport and want to improve your speed
used to do athletics and want to try it again
are curious about athletics but are not ready to join a squad
Come for one session, return when your schedule allows.
Social Sprints can simply be a casual way you do training.
If you decide you want more, it can also provide a pathway into further coaching, club training or athletics competition.
Start with one session.
