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 Day
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Our second club day of the 2025 season. There will be some introductions and notices, then head out for 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!

Another club day before racing starts ramping up. There will be some introductions and notices, then head out for varying distances and paces. Same deal as last weekend, groups doing shorter park based runs whilst others will head out to wider Upper Hutt for 1-1.5 hours. We stop regularly to regroup and chat.

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 champs) and New Zealand 5km Road Championships are also on this weekend.

University Cross Country Relays
Chocolate Walk
Mackays Crossing
The second inter-club of the year takes place over on the Kapiti Coast. The University Cross Country Relay and Chocolate walk tops out at 3.5km for U20 and older so very achievable for a newer runner. The shorter course means there is always someone nearby to try and catch. It's a great little grassy/gravel course with very short punchy hills - good fun. If there has been a lot of rain, the course can get delightfully boggy too.
For the second year running (haha), the race will double as the Wellington Mixed XC Relay. Further encouraging everyone to give it a go, should be an interesting race.
And as I've mentioned for Battle Hill, 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. Give it a go and see if you like this cross-country thing...
