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.
See the About Us page for more details - membership registration link, our training times & days, information about each of our races and more.

Club Open Day
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Our only open day of the 2024 season. Come one, come all and check out the Trentham United Harriers and Walkers club. There will be some introductions and notices, then pack runs of varying distances and paces. 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 with us.

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 check out the 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
