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 and our training times & days.
Change to Race Walk Training Days & Time
From the start of October, Race Walk Trainings will be at 5:00pm-6:00pm on Wedensday evenings, not Thursdays. This will allow the Race Walkers to do a recovery walk on Thursdays evenings with the Club runs.

For the Senior & older college runners.
Time: 8:00am
Meeting Point: 48 Kaitoke Loop Road, Kaitoke
Parking: please park at the bottom of the driveway or on Kaitoke Loop Road / the Pakuratahi Forest car park as there is limited parking up the drive way.
Plan/Options: we'll run the Remutaka Incline, so distance options of up to 22-25km. Depending on numbers we could probably look at splitting into smaller groups.

8:00am start. Meet at the DOC car park at the end of Kiwi Ranch Road, Kaitoke.
The intent is to do the Dobson Loop. Last year it took us around 3.5 hours in total to complete (including stops), so allow for 4 hours. There will be a shorter option as well.
The Foul-Weather alternative / back up will be Tulsa Park in Totara Park. If it looks like a decision needs to be made based off the weather I will make it on the Saturday late afternoon and email all the seniors.
For the Senior & older college runners.
