What is Berowra Bush Runners?
Updated
Berowra Bush Runners (BBR) is a running and jogging club based in Berowra, a northern Sydney suburb in Australia. It welcomes runners and joggers of all ages and abilities, and you can either run with the group casually or join as a club member. If you are looking for a regular weekend run in a bush setting and want to know whether this club fits you, the key facts are below.
Where and when does the club meet?
- Location: Warrina St Oval car park, Berowra, Sydney.
- Day: Every Sunday morning.
- Time: Prompt departure at 7:15am, unless otherwise stated.
Because the group leaves promptly, arriving a little early is the practical choice if you do not want to miss the start.
What are the run options?
Each week there is a short option and a longer option:
| Option | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Short run | Around 5 km |
| Longer run | Around 10 km |
The routes vary from week to week, so the club publishes a calendar showing the schedule. Checking the calendar before your first run tells you what is planned that Sunday.
What is the handicap event?
On the first Sunday of the month, the club holds a handicap event — a 5 km / 10 km race around the streets of Berowra. This is a regular monthly feature rather than the standard weekly run format.
Who can join, and do you have to be a member?
The club states that runners and joggers of all ages and abilities are welcome. You have two ways to take part:
- Casual basis — run with the group without joining the club.
- Membership — join the club for ongoing participation.
Membership details and payment instructions are handled on separate pages of the club's website, so check those pages directly for current terms rather than assuming a cost or process.
What is the running environment like?
Berowra is completely surrounded by Australian bush, with plenty of hills and water. The club describes this as making Berowra a perfect place to run — useful context if you are deciding whether the terrain suits your current fitness or preferences.
