- Knockoffs Run Club began as a small group of hospital colleagues
- It now has more than 500 members who meet for weeknight runs and beers
- Members say they enjoy the sense of community as much as the exercise
"I think on the first run, there were only six of us, but over the months, it just grew and grew."
"The concept was we had two back runners, making people feel comfortable at the back and showing them the route, making sure they felt part of the community, and that's where it really started to grow and evolve."
"It's just so nice to have a ready-made group of people you can catch up with, do a bit of exercise and have a drink; you couldn't ask for more."
"Even making the social connections, it has such an impact on your well-being; I couldn't go without it now."
"The more I came, the more people I got to know, and now I have a fairly close group of friends that come and I always look forward to seeing them."
