Unofficial Shakeout

Sydney’s Biggest Shakeout

New Balance x Unofficial

Last year, we brought both the global and Sydney’s running community together for our biggest shakeout yet. Saturday 29 August at 7am.

This year, we’re doing it again with our friends from New Balance.

Join Unofficial for an easy shakeout, good people, proper carbs, coffee on top, Nick Drabble on the decks, hydration by Cadence and more.

Come ready to move. You're not going to want to miss this.

Whoever said “Curiosity killed the cat” wasn’t asking the right questions. Here are a few we get asked a lot.

At the moment we’re just doing our Friday runs, Wednesday speed sessions that are invite only and various partnerships with other brands which will mostly be either a Friday run or something on the weekend. If you’re a brand, reach out for a chat!

We started as a few mates who could barely run the length of the Harbour Bridge without stopping for a breather. Three turned into 5, and then an initial 10 who showed up week on week for a jog and a pastry. We wanted to push each other into places we didn’t think we were capable of with longer runs, hard workouts, and a well-caffeinated treat at the end. Turns out others resonated with the vibe – and here we are.

Don’t be nervous! We have people of all ages and paces running with us ranging from sub 4:30/km to well above 7:30/km and even a walking group. Check out our Instagram stories every Thursday when we invite newbies to weekly first-timers chats.

No matter where you are in the pack you’ll have someone to run alongside. We are frequently told that once we get running, it doesn’t feel overly busy.

Remember, nobody gets left behind.

The run is roughly 6.2km with many shortcuts available if need be. We have a number of people who run the Harbour Bridge, walk back, and join us for coffee, which is roughly 2.5km.

The bigger the better, especially when people are looking to better themselves. We’re taking measures to ensure things flow as seamlessly as possible and to reduce our impact on the public. If you’re keen to grow, we’d love you to show.

We start and finish at the Unofficial Run Club Steps (yep, that’s the location on Google Maps) in Milsons Point. We run south over the Harbour Bridge, up and over the Cahill Expressway, around the Sydney Opera House through Circular Quay, up The Rocks and back over the Harbour Bridge for a tasty pastry.

The run usually finishes between 6:45 and 7:00 am. If you’re just joining us for pastries and a chat, meet us at 7:00 🙂.
