Napier Harrier Club

Napier Harrier Club Cross Country and Road running with the Napier Harrier Club Our post race afternoon teas are legendary! The latter part of the season is mainly road races.

The Napier Harrier Club was founded in 1934 and is a family orientated club with over 100 members ranging in age from 7 to 70 and caters for runners of all abilities from beginners to Nationally ranked speedsters. During 1984 the club joined Greendale Tennis and Taradale Cricket to form the Taradale Sports Association. Together we built new clubrooms in Taradale Park, with vehicular access off Sym

ons Lane in Taradale, Napier. This wonderful facility includes changing rooms with excellent showers, a kitchen and a licenced bar and is the focal point of most of our activities. The club holds oganised runs every Saturday from April to October, rain hail or shine. We usually assemble at the clubrooms or the race venue at 1.45pm and begin action at 2pm. Every Saturday through the season involves either a race or a 'Group Run'. The first half of the season consists of mainly cross country or off road races. The courses are many and varied, and generally no two events will be over the same terrain in the season. 'Pack Runs' are low key training runs where runners of similar ability group together to go out for a training run.

Meet from 1:30pm at the Trigg Crescent entrance to Dolbel, with running to start from 2pm. Please bring a plate and we'll head back to the clubrooms for afternoon tea.
