"I never thought I would be getting up at 5am three times a week to go for a run"
OHRC has motivated me to show up for myself and push myself by being surrounded by so many amazing humans. I never thought I would be getting up at 5am three times a week to go for a run but I wouldn't trade it for anything, OHRC is such a beautiful space with no judgment.
"I was met with high fives and words of encouragement from complete strangers"
Prior to joining this group of wonderful and inspiring humans, I had not actively moved my body with purpose for over 2 years. On my first session with the club, it was clear I was in way over my head-and battled with my head and body to make it up and down the hill. However I was met with high fives, and words of encouragement from complete strangers that somehow made me feel like I could conquer Everest. That feel good dopamine had me returning for the next session with excitement and confidence, and is now part of my weekly routine that I look forward to! The club has welcomed me with open arms, and 3 months later am very proud to say that girl who could barely hike the hill is now moving mountains! Thank you Connor for providing a safe and inclusive environment for ALL ages and abilities! 🩷 🙌🏼
"I love challenging myself up and down and getting heaps of smiles and high fives is a bloody bonus!"
Olivers Hill Run Club has made me enjoy hills a lot more that's for sure! Before joining the club I used to only run flats, but now I love challenging myself up and down and getting heaps of smiles and high fives is a bloody bonus! I've also personally lost some loved ones to mental health and it's definitely helped me through those tough times being with such a strong community and doing 9 minutes in the cold water is a way of showing my mates I loved em.
"Best decision I ever made getting the courage to turn up on my own"
Turned up to OHRC just over a year ago, I had started running but didn't want to run on my own as I didn't totally feel safe. I did some searching and came across ORHC on Insta. Best decision I ever made getting the courage to turn up on my own and join OHRC. I've stopped and started due to life and mum life but every time I join in again the people and the hill is just as welcoming! Hugs and high fives and encouragement all round. So nice to do/have something for myself that doesn't relate to the kids and I can stay fit too!
"Joining Olivers Hill Run Club has been one of the best things l've done"
Since moving from Singapore to Australia, joining Olivers Hill Run Club has been one of the best things l've done. It's not just the running, it's the cold dips in the sea after, the coffees shared with new faces, and the easy chats with new people. There's something really special about that. In this little corner of the world, people are doing amazing things, showing up early, connecting, and just enjoying the moment. It made me feel welcome, inspired, and more at home here.
"There's something about the community that always keeps me coming back"
As much as I hate waking up so early to go run up the hill and swim at the boat ramp, there's something about the community that always keeps me coming back. Although it might not be frequent since l'm not usually in the area, when I pop in I'm left feeling motivated, challenged, connected, and inspired. One day, someone I know will accept my invite to join me, and will also understand why the early morning alarm is SO worth it - even in Winter ❤️
"It's a space I wake up to knowing my son and I feel comfortable to be around"
This club, the safe space, the encouragement and friendships I have gained in such a little ammount of time, is more than anyone will ever know. It's a space I wake up to knowing my son and I feel comfortable to be around and to wake up to knowing he'll one day be apart of. I feel myself, I feel able and apart of something more than just a run club. Big love ❤️
"For the first time since having kids 10 years ago I feel safe enough to be outside running consistently"
For a long time I felt scared to run alone, intimidated when I went to the gym or fitness classes and prioritised all my families needs over my own health and fitness goals. Since joining, the improvement in my fitness and mental health has been life changing. Knowing people from all walks of life, fitness levels, genders and age are accepted and celebrated at OHRC has done wonders for my own belief that I can be a runner too. I find myself waking up before my early morning alarm, bouncing out of bed and excited to have my time on the hill with the crew. Thank you to Connor and all members of OHRC for creating and maintaining a safe and inclusive space for us to move our bodies.
"I felt so welcomed and was able to meet new people and make genuine connections"
I joined in my first week of moving to Frankston. I was scared that I wasn't going to make any friends and that I wouldn't fit it but all of these doubts went out the window. I felt so welcomed and was able to meet new people and make genuine connections. I also learnt to be a morning person and love running again.
"There's something powerful about starting the day alongside people who lift each other up"
OHRC has been such a special part of my life. It's more than just running - it's where real friendships have formed, where l've felt part of a strong, encouraging community, and where everyone is truly welcomed, no matter their pace or background. There's something powerful about starting the day alongside people who lift each other up. There's always laughter, support, and a sense of belonging. It's an inclusive space that makes you feel seen, connected, and inspired-on and off the hill.
"OHRC has supported redefining my belief in myself"
A positive sense of purpose, long lasting friendships, and strong connections. OHRC has supported redefining my belief in myself, and brought out leadership qualities. Prior to attending OHRC, my mental health was in a poor spot and I was very much struggling personally with things going on around me, so OHRC has helped me reconnect with myself, regain enjoyment in my life and reconnect with others.
