One sunny (but slightly freezing) Sunday morning, we laced up and joined the Chiya Guff Run Club, a project supported by the Nepali Society of Tasmania.
What we experienced was pretty special!
There was an immediate sense of camaraderie, care and connection. A vibrant, welcoming community built around a culture of wellness, and nurturing both body and mind.
Everyone is welcome and everyone is greeted at the finish line with a hot cup of delicious Chiya tea, shared stories, laughter, and that unmistakable feeling of belonging.
Because it’s more than a running club. It’s a way to connect, with yourself, and with others. One runner summed it up perfectly: “honesty and sweat.” Those real, feel-good moments that stay with you long after the run is done.
Their motto says it all: fitness, friendship and tea.
They celebrate life, and they’ve truly saved a seat for anyone wanting to join. You don’t feel the cold when you’re surrounded by that kind of warmth.
A heartfelt thank you to Rojina, Anish and Aayush and the whole crew for sharing the morning and leading the way toward a more connected and respectful Tasmania.
