If you're based in Yarraville and looking for a running group or a coach who can help you actually improve — RD Run Squad is right on your doorstep.
📅 When Tuesday & Thursday 5:45am — 6:45am
📍 Where Farnsworth Avenue, Footscray Inner west Melbourne
💰 Cost Casual: $8.50 5-week block: $75 First week: Free
Yarraville is one of Melbourne's inner west gems — quiet streets, good coffee, and a running community that's been quietly growing for years. What it doesn't have is a dedicated run squad of its own. What it does have is easy access to two of RD Run Squad's three training locations, both just a short drive or bike ride away.
Farnsworth Avenue in Footscray is the closest — a 5-minute drive from Yarraville's centre. Hill sessions here run Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:45am and are where Run Squad members build the strength that makes every other run feel easier.
Williamstown Beach is a 10-minute drive and worth every minute. Flat foreshore running with morning views across the bay — perfect for tempo runs, deload weeks, and sessions where the goal is rhythm and consistency.
Both sessions are $8.50 casual or $75 for a five-week block. Your first week is completely free.
Who runs with the squad
RD Run Squad is mostly women — beginners, returners, and experienced runners all training together at their own pace. There's no minimum fitness level and no pressure to keep up. Dale Ipsen, your Athletics Australia Level 2 accredited coach, knows everyone by name and designs sessions around real people with real lives.
