Love to run, but also love to eat pastries? Then this my friend, is the run club for you!
Join us at 8am every Saturday for a cruisy 5km trot around the lake with Izzy Elevate Fitness, starting and finishing at The Boat Shed Bakery.
What to expect
Each run sets off at 8am (so best to get there early) from right out front of The Boat Shed Bakery entrance.
It will be a leisurely 5km run around the beautiful Lake Whakitipu, finishing at The Boat Shed Bakery.
It will be an easy pace - around 7:00/km or slower - and walkers are welcome too.
Cool off post-run with a catch-up and a coffee. The best part? Your run gets you $4 coffees and 10% off pastries* - just flash your Bakery Run Club (BRC) sticker.
Terms & conditions:
$4 coffee is valid for regular coffees only. Large coffees, extra shots, alternative milk and specialty coffees will be charged at an additional cost. 10% off pastries cannot be combined with any other offer.
We're not here to break PB's, we're at it to build a community of run-loving people, who want to connect with others, and maybe offset their pastry addiction.
We've teamed up with our friends at O-Studio Queenstown to offer our run clubbers a very juicy discount.
After each run you'll be given a unique code to use at O-Studio for the next 3 days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). Think recovery, mindfulness and a little post-run indulgence.
The discount code will give you 20% off the communal sauna, ice baths and recovery room. As spaces are limited, we suggest booking ahead via their website.
Every Saturday at 8am. Keep an eye on our Instagram for any updates or weather calls.
We meet outside The Boat Shed Bakery at Queenstown Marina (Frankton). Aim to arrive 5 minutes early so we can head off on time (and get back for the treats).
Run Club is hosted by Izzy. from Izzy Elevate Fitness. She's a super friendly, local personal trainer who is passionate about keeping the Run Club a fun, inclusive space that caters to all fitness levels. We aren't chasing PB's here, we are chasing pastries and new friends.
We do a 5km run along the marina, over the bridge to Kelvin Heights and back. The pace is around 7:30km but we have runners of all levels, so you'll never be alone.
Nope, just show up!
Runners get $4 regular coffees and 10% off pastries* after the run.
*Regular coffee only, large coffees, extra shots, and alternative milks are charged extra. Pastry discount cannot be used with any other offer.We love dogs and they are absolutely welcome to join the club, as long as they are comfortable around other runners and dogs. Please keep them on a lead where needed and bring a bag (you know the one).
We’ll still run most weeks, but if the weather is properly grim, we’ll post an update on Instagram.
Yep. the Marina parking is right nearby and only $2 per hour. Otherwise you can walk in from Frankton Beach or bus to the nearby bus stop.
We’ve got a small communal tub inside for small belongings while you run. Space is pretty tight though, so please leave larger items at home (or keep them with you).
