We are alive again!
To celebrate, here's a running website poem written by AI:​
A website, once dormant, in the digital race,
Sprang from the blocks, setting a lively pace.
It hurdled the downtime, sprinted through the cache,
With a marathon's spirit, it made a high-tech dash.
Back in the net-game, winning the online chase!

Welcome to the club
​Our inclusive club is focused on participation, enjoyment and friendly competition. We're an enthusiastic bunch and love welcoming new people who share our passion for running, walking and/or athletics. We accommodate any walkers, joggers, children and experienced athletes who want to challenge themselves in a social, supportive environment. 

We hold weekly sports events for all ages throughout the year. Download our 2024 programme or check out our Harriers and athletics pages. Please contact Harriers club captain Peter Blackwood if you need further info.

There are weekday training sessions, and a group of walkers who meet regularly for a town or trail walk and a cuppa. Plus we have social events during the year. 

Visitors can attend three club events free before committing to a paid membership. Our clubrooms are next to the 400m athletics track on Short Street in central Whakatane.

2024 Harriers

The cooler weather is here, and so is our 2024 Harrier season. We've planned a range of enjoyable and challenging runs on farms, trails, roads and more. 

Summer athletics

Do you and your family want to try something new that will benefit mind and body? Do you want to challenge yourself over a variety of distances and disciplines, or do you just need to get fit for your winter team sport? Then our summer athletics programme is for you. We offer a wide range of events on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (October - March) for children and adults.
