NOT JUST A RUNNING GROUP
“Session after session, week after week,
I felt myself slowly being led onto a path of reconnection. It came from the laughs, the yarns, being on country and feeling connected”.
“Deadly Runners works.
Why? Because it's about pride, overcoming shame, it’s about consistency, taking
small steps, challenging yourself mentally and physically, but most importantly, it’s
a program that’s designed by mob for mob: To succeed".

With an unspoken understanding of our shared history, cultural values and love for each other, the magic of Deadly Runners comes from bringing our mob together.
Through our running programs and cultural camps, we invest in our mob to create long term change. Not just a running group, common outcomes for our Deadly Runners include immense mental health benefits such as reduction of anxiety, reduced resting heart rate, weight loss, improved sleep, increase in self-worth & agency, and increase in economic participation.
