Summer run - see the heights of Ranui 2 Feb 2017.

Pack run/walk with Miles and Sheryne, 3 Marua Place, Ranui, Porirua,  Sat 4 Feb, 1:45pm

We enjoyed the visit to the beach at Titahi Bay last week -- this week there is the chance to stay on for a bit longer after the run to plan strategies either for those doing the Around Taupo relay or the Around the Bays event in Wellington on the weekend of 18-19th Feb.

Bring drinks and meat for a BBQ, and please park up on the street above the house. 

 

Athletics Events....

A small but dedicated group are continuing to keep the Olympic colours flying at the athletics events over the summer.  Some great times coming out and it seems to be a bug that once it bites stays with you!

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.
