Alphington Striders

Always good stuff coming from Alphington Community Centre!

Alphington Community Centre Online News from ACC and the neighbourhood.

Here you go Alphington peoples - the walkers, joggers & runners out there. There's a local lady making it her personal objective to do a * "been there", "done all of Alphington daaahliiinng",
as her personal CV-19 fitness challenge.

This map was from a few days ago, so rest assured more striding has happened since.

*Karenning
(masked up safely of course) around our beautiful part of the world is now a thing!
Circumnavigate, clockwise or anti, or street by street, those little lanes near the station, the parks and along the river(s) well Darebin Creek is sort of like a river..

See Alphington all over,
see birds, trees, and nature up close.
View Federation, Californian b**galows and Victorian era homes as well as all the modern additions. Have a sticky beak over peoples fences there's some really nice gardens in the area.
Buy a coffee/tea at one of our local cafes on your way.
Enjoy life, get out there and do a stride!
And let us know how you get on, it's not a race by the way..

The challenge is on!

Just putting out there that circumnavigating Alphington has become a mapped route for some enthusiastic
runners/walkers recently. A bit of trail diversity, a bit outside and over the Yarra River, along the Darebin Creek and some nice street scapes as well. Do your Alphington discovery trail sometime soon!

A nice day for a bit of bike striding out from Alphington to Heidelberg and return via the Yarra trail plus some muddy cycle paths.
Plenty of birdlife and a mob of Kangaroos also on the way. 24km all up, a good effort after cv19 break.

Hey all you Striders out there!
We have been having a break for a while due to family, health (b**g knees etc) and other competing events. Hope to see you all on trail sometime soon but in the meantime we're doing some social distancing as we all should be..

When we run, we have fun. We get fitter and we enjoy our surroundings.

22km this morning on the pushy..nice to be back on trail again but missing my running buddies...also thinking about having a little bit of Peking Duck soon for some reason
