5km Series #1
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Happy New Year! We are back into the swing of things and ready to bring you the 2026 2.5km and 5km series, kicking off Tuesday 27 Jan.
2.5km or 5km, walk or run! This series is open to all, you don't have to be a club member so encourage friends and family to come along.
The series is fortnightly (Tuesdays), events start at 6:15pm. Race check-in will be open from approx 5:50pm.
The series has 5 events - if you sign up to all 5 we offer a series discount ($20 for all 5 events). Please pay your $20 (cash) at the first event for this to apply. If not, you can choose to pay as you go $5 per event.
Don't worry if you sign up for all the races and don't turn up to some. It is much easier to fix in our results than you turning up without registering.
Any subsequent changes to your registration e.g. changing distance or category (walk/run) please email trenthamharriers@gmail.com by midday of each event.
This year we are continuing with the same course as the last couple of years. It has proven to be a speedy course and great for spectators and parents to keep an eye on kids.
2.5km = 1 big lap (1.6km) and 1 small lap (900m)
5km = 1 big then 1 small, then repeat that pair. (We ask that you follow this combo so that if you choose to drop out half way, we can still give you a 2.5km time).
Need a course refresher? Check out the course video here.
(Shows the 2.5km so for 5km you just repeat again).
We look forward to seeing you all again in a couple of weeks.

Open Day
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Our only open day of the 2026 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. The pace at the back of the group could be 6-7 min/km, quicker towards the front. 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.

Porirua Grand Traverse
Christchurch Marathon
The Porirua Grand Traverse is a popular event and one a few of our multi-sport members like to have a crack at. Run, bike and kayak over on the coast. Well worth doing at least once.

Tararua Mountain Race, Otaki
Our second club day of the 2026 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 - doesn't matter how fast or slow you might be. This is all about having some fun and is a great way to get into cross country running.

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.
Any parents heading out to watch their kids race, we strongly encourage you to register and have a run! The club will pay your entry fee and you get to stretch your legs for 10-15 minutes! Give it a go and see if you like this cross-country thing...
The Rotorua Marathon (inc NZ Masters Marathon champs) are also on this weekend.
13-14 February 2026
Tarawera Ultra Marathon
Rotorua
Bethany, Brian, Sarah and Stephen headed North for the high profile Tarawera Ultra Marathon event. All four performed spectacularly nailing their nutrition and pacing to claim fantastics times. Here is their combined write up:
Bethany, Brian, Sarah and Stephen travelled up to Rotorua to compete in the 102km distance at the Tarawera Ultra Trail event.
Torrential rain on the day before and during the race turned the trails into fast flowing streams, flooded the tracks around the lakes and created several inches of mud on the uphill and downhill sections making them treacherous.
It was a case of survival rather than racing!
Of the 938 starters 163 (17%) did not finish - double the previous year.
We all finished:
Brian 12:28:00 (4th in 45-49M Category)
Stephen 16:16:57 (5th in 60-64M Category)
Sarah 19:27:35 (21st in 40-44W Category)
Bethany 19:27:36 (41st in 20-34W Category)
Big thanks to Hugh and Pete for their support at the aid stations and finish.
Former TUH member Kerryn Stewart, now a Queenstown resident, completed her first miler (160km) in 34:32:42 (7th in 45-49W category). Cheered to the finish by her fellow TUH friends/supporters. An incredible achievement to be one of only 300 finishers from over 500 who started.
