We are the largest group of runners and walkers in the Upper Hutt valley. Our Club is built around friendly local people who just enjoy running and walking at all ages and ability levels.
Our goal is to encourage people of all ages to get fit in an easy and fun way, and those that are fit to get faster.

Likely a group will do a lap or two of the park whilst others will head out to wider Upper Hutt for 1-1.5 hours. We stop regularly to regroup and chat about shoes, gps watches, gel flavours and occassionally non-running related topics! There is no committment to join the club at this stage, just come along and run or walk with us.

Club Day & Mad Dash Relay, Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Tararua Mountain Race, Otaki
Our first club day of the 2025 season start with a little cross country taster. The Mad Dash Relay is a fun early season race that everyone can have a crack at. Get a feel for how cross country works and its only 1km. Random teams with a spread of ages and abilities. This is all about having some fun and is a great way to get into cross country running.
For the more intrepid trail runners, the mighty TMR is on. 10% chance of sun, 100% chance of pain.

Shaw Baton Cross Country Relays
Battle Hill
Barely a few weeks into the season and we hit the first inter-club race. Get those spikes dusted off! This one is a team relay, only 2km, and fantastic variation in terrain - thick grass, gravel tracks, log jumps, a water jump over mostly flat to undulating track with one sharp uphill & downhill. A great race to kick off the season.
Details on the event are on the interclub race page
The Rotorua Marathon (inc NZ champs) and New Zealand 5km Road Championships are also on this weekend.
