Back to EpisodesEp 30: This Brisbane Run Club Has Been Around Since 1900… Here’s Why It Still Works | TEES
Description
What does it feel like inside Brisbane’s oldest sporting club?
In this special episode of Runbelievable, Joshie steps away from the usual one-on-one format and heads down to Thompson Estate Athletics and Running Club (TEES Athletics) to find out.
Established in 1900, TEES is Brisbane’s oldest sporting club. On a perfect Monday evening, with close to 100 runners, Joshie set out to capture something simple… the spirit of training.
What followed was anything but simple.
From sprint groups flying past at full speed, to kids laughing trackside, to coaches driving their athletes, this episode brings you inside the energy of a real running community. Along the way, you’ll hear from coaches, the club president, and runners of all ages and abilities... each sharing what keeps them coming back.
This isn’t a polished race recap or a single story.
It’s the sound of running, exactly as it happens.
