Pack run/walk, Annie's house, 53 Kanpur Rd, Broadmeadows, Sat 31 Dec, 1:45pm

Lots of places to walk or run from Broadmeadows, with Khandallah Park just around the corner, or down into Khandallah itself and the Bridle trail, but be aware that the last bit home will be uphill!

Bring a nibble and a drink if you would like to stay on after your efforts, no BBQ though.  Thanks Annie!

 

After a challenge for New Year's Day?

There is a double Parkrun on offer!!  The Parkrun website says: 

...for New Year’s weekend there will be normal parkruns on Saturday (same place, same time) AND for the keen we'll have TWO parkruns on New Year's Day - 8 am on the Lower Hutt course and 9:00 (the start of a leisurely run briefing to let the Lower Hutties arrive) on the Porirua parkrun course.  BYO food for a picnic or a plate to share in Bothamley Park afterwards.  We’ll have a small barbecue available for those that would like grill their food prior to eating.  Woop Woop, that will be fun! See you there.

  Social Contacts

  There are a couple of active Facebook pages associated with the club.  If memory serves you need to be accepted to get access but that is not a big hassle.  A variety of semi organised runs at different levels, encouragement for summer track athletes, and celebrations of current (and some past) performances all turn up regularly.
