Hey Fam, hope everyone has had a good holiday season and is loving being back into it! Just a quick reminder that our first Saturday club run is happening in just a little over a week.

What: A free social run with no expectations and something for everyone. We will have 3km, 5km and 10km options as well as a 1km jog out to warm up. Everyone is welcome, no signup required and we are super family friendly

When: Saturday 31st of January @1:30pm

Where: Lindsey Bush. There is a large carpark and toilets down there, and it is not close to the road so a great spot for little kids and dogs.

Please beware: There is algae in the river at this time of year so leads/close supervision are advised for kids and dogs

Hi all!
Just a reminder that our last Waipuk Run Club official group run for this year is this Saturday. Meet in the carpark behind the hockey/netball grounds at 1:30pm.
As usual there will be group runs to suit all - 10km, 5km and 1km m. Weather permitting we just might have to cross the river??? Let’s all have some fun and wind down for Xmas.

Also just a reminder to block out the last Saturday afternoon of each month in your calendar for the new year so you never have to miss a WRC run again!
