Where: Waitakere Rugby Clubrooms, The Trust Arena, Central Park Drive, Henderson
Bring: Running gear, 500ml Water Bottle, Jacket for warmup/down
Description: Come along and enjoy our longstanding fun run/walk event. A great way to stay in shape - to have a catch up with friends - or to thrash out 5kms, if you're keen on running further ask on the night as there are usually a few keen to go longer. This is a great social night and most people generally hang around for some food & drink in the Rugby Clubrooms afterwards.

To make training enjoyable and a little bit easier as a club we focus on fun, motivated and friendly training. The only person you are competing against is you and your goals. Of course there is always friendly competition but we want to encourage people of all ages, fitness abilities and walks of life to get out there and get active. As a member of Waitakere Triathlon and Multisport we have a vast array of training options which occur weekly that you can take part in. Whether you want push the barriers each week or take it easy we are the club for you!
All of our training session have been designed in collaboration with our TriNZ accredited coaches. This means they are planned carefully and they are designed to get you in shape, with the events that our club supports as performance goals. Our sessions are based around duration rather than distance. meaning you can go at your own and still be on the same course as others most of the time.
