Join DGRS
Welcome to Don Greig Racing Stables
Welcome, and thank you for considering becoming part of the Don Greig Racing Stables. Whether you're an experienced runner chasing a personal best, someone looking to improve your fitness, or simply searching for a great group of people to share a few kilometres (and perhaps a coffee afterwards), you'll find a warm welcome here.
Our club is built on the belief that running is about much more than kilometres and finish lines. It's about friendship, encouragement, laughter, and helping each other achieve personal goals. We have a full bucket of enthusiasm, and like-minded people to welcome you.
One of the things I'm most proud of is the DGRS club culture our members have built. We're competitive when we pin on a race number, yet very supportive of each other’s contributions and seeing each other succeed. We have runners of all ages and abilities, and our structured group training sessions reflect this. There is a group for everyone!
So why not come along and see what we're all about? Introduce yourself, join us for a run, and experience the camaraderie that makes our club a pretty special place. I genuinely believe you'll leave with a smile, a few new friends, and a heap of encouragement to search, and enter your next race.
On behalf of our committee and all our members, thank you for considering the DGRS. We would be delighted to welcome you into our running club community.
Best Regards Phil Lindsay, President
