What we’re about
This group is for those who'd like to meet other runners and enjoy discovering new/rediscovering old routes around the greater Welly. The idea is to meet semi-regularly or whenever someone comes up with an interesting route and RUN!
Road/offroad/rave/rogue runners ALL welcome! :-)

*Important: you will need a headlamp or handheld torch until daylight savings switches in late September*
Up to an hour, more or less hills, we choose. And it's off road so trail shoes are handy, particularly if there has been rain!
We break into 2-3 groups typically (depending on numbers) and run around the Mt Vic trails before heading to the summit for a group photo (7.10pm) and then heading back downhill to Welsh Dragon Pub for a beer (optional harbour dip on the way if weather is nice!).
GROUPS:
- 'Slowcial' - Slow and social! Perfect if this is your first time with us or you just want an easier paced run. A mix of running and walking to the top. Typically 5-7kms and around 200-250m of elevation.
- Medium Slow: Medium is too quick! Medium slow is perfect! Typically 6-8kms and 250m of elevation.
- Medium-Medium-Fast: A faster group or two is an option for those that want to stretch their legs out. Smaller in size but just as much fun (if you can handle it!). Typically 8-10kms and around 300m of elevation.
We meet for this run on the waterfront walkway opposite the Naked Man Statue in front of Te Papa Museum at the north-east end of Te Papa, pinpointed here: https://goo.gl/maps/omsBUqMZt6k
MARCH until SEPTEMBER is TORCH season so bring a light (unless you have night vision!)
The first Tuesday of each month is a "CAN CAN" run. We encourage you to bring a can (or non perishable food item) that we will donate to a charity and you can top up your running karma. You won't need to carry it on the run as it will be collected before the start.

All less active, inactive, bored, lazy, unfit, fit but couldn't care less, etc, runners... This is an easy mid-week run that aims to get you off the office chair or couch and get out there for a 40-ish minute flat-ish run around the bays.
We normally go to Balaena Bay and then head back via the gentle incline of Maida Vale Rd. If the wind is against us on the flat then the hill is actually easier than it seems, and ever since we began this run (27 July 2011!) we've had lots of testimonials of people who feared it, dared it, and nailed it!
So don't wait, join in for a Wednesday Get Off Your Bum Chillout Run!
Start and finish is outside the Freyberg Pool & Fitness Centre, 139 Oriental Parade (pinpointed here: https://goo.gl/maps/xEHeW7MhyaQ2). Total distance is about 5km.
