About
About Banana Bread Chasers: What happens when a group of mates combine their love of running with their obsession for Perth’s best banana bread? You get Banana Bread Chasers – one of Perth’s newest and most delicious run clubs. Founded in October 2023, BBC started as friends meeting every Saturday morning for social runs followed by a cheeky sweet treat.
The concept took off quickly, and now the club regularly attracts runners from across the city. Locations rotate weekly around Perth’s best running spots, including Applecross, Fremantle, South Perth, Deep Water Point, and beyond. The core group runs at around a 5:30-6 min/km pace, but walkers are absolutely welcome – there’s a dedicated walking contingent every week.
After the 5-6 km run, the group congregates at a local cafe to review and rate Perth’s banana bread offerings (current frontrunner: Crumbs Patisserie). The club raised over $3,000 for Movember in their first month, proving they run for reasons beyond just the baked goods.
