FAST Running’s October Accelerate Clinics once again brought together some of Canberra’s most passionate young athletes for two days of speed, skill, and inspiration — held across Belconnen and Woden.
The clinics are designed to give participants access to high-quality coaching in a fun, encouraging environment, where learning and laughter go hand-in-hand. What makes the Accelerate experience truly special is the team of coaches who lead from the front — athletes who not only understand performance but also the journey it takes to get there.
Coaching that Connects
FAST’s approach to development is simple — learning from those who’ve walked the path. Each Accelerate Clinic brings together a group of coaches who can relate to participants at every level, combining technical insight with genuine care and mentorship.
This October, one of our newest FAST Kids Coaches, Cecilia Ador, joined the team on the ground at both venues. A nationally ranked sprinter and jumper, Cecilia’s energy, warmth, and leadership made an immediate impact — not through titles, but through the way she encouraged every child to find their own version of success.
Mentorship in Motion
The strength of the FAST Coaching Team lies in its depth and diversity — from national-level athletes to experienced youth mentors — all united by a shared goal: to make athletics accessible, enjoyable, and empowering for every participant.
The October Accelerate Clinics captured exactly that spirit. Whether it was first-time participants learning how to sprint, jump, or build confidence, or returning athletes refining their technique, the message remained clear — growth happens when you’re supported, challenged, and inspired.
Looking Ahead
As FAST Running continues to expand its clinics and development programs, the focus remains on delivering Running Excellence through connection, culture, and care.
Every athlete. Every session. Every smile.
That’s what makes the Accelerate Clinics more than just training — they’re where the next generation learns to love the sport from those who live it.
