Not a running club. Two mates keeping each other accountable.

RUN NOW.
BACON
LATER.

A couple of guys in Brisbane, getting fitter one Saturday at a time. We turn up for the 5K, but the post-parkrun brekkie, always with bacon, is what gets us to the finish line.

It started with one Saturday. Then another. And somehow, we became Saturday morning people.
Our story · Since 2026

How it all began

Two guys.
One starting line.
A better direction.

At the first parkrun of 2026, we decided it was time to do something good for ourselves. Nothing fancy. No perfect training plan. Just turn up, move our feet and see where it takes us.

We kept coming back. Week after week, we've made parkrun part of our lives, taking the occasional break when holidays, work or illness get in the way. The goal has never been perfection. It's about consistency, progress and enjoying the journey.

The secret weapon? Brekkie after parkrun. Every Saturday we head for breakfast, catch up and talk about how the run went. There is always bacon. On the tough kilometres, knowing what is waiting at the end is sometimes all the motivation we need.

The mission

Better every Saturday.

We're not chasing medals or trying to impress anyone. We're chasing a healthier version of ourselves, one 5K at a time.

01 / THE HABIT

Keep showing up.

Keep each other accountable and turn up, even when the motivation doesn't. Every start line counts.

02 / THE PROGRESS

Get stronger. Get quicker.

Improve our fitness, go further with less effort, and celebrate every personal best.

03 / THE GOOD STUFF

Earn the brekkie.

Good company, a proper post-parkrun catch-up and breakfast with bacon. Every week. That finish-line reward makes the early start worth it.

The Saturday ritual

Same mission.
New Saturday.

Some weeks we feel fast. Some weeks we're just happy to make it around. Both count.

01

Get out of bed.

Arguably the hardest part of the entire 5K.

02

Show up and move.

Run, jog or walk. Keep the streak of showing up alive.

03

Cross the finish line.

Whether it was a personal best or a tough 5K, we made it. Now for the real motivation.

04

Brekkie. With bacon. Always.

Grab a table, order breakfast and have a laugh about the morning. Bacon is the non-negotiable part of our Saturday ritual.

The finish-line motivation

RUN THE 5K.
EARN THE
BACON.

Some Saturdays the legs are willing. Other Saturdays, it is the thought of bacon and a good brekkie that gets us through. Either way, we finish together and enjoy breakfast afterwards.
