Members of Kerikeri Striders actually started the Kerikeri Half Marathon, it is one of the highlights of the Clubs Sporting calendar. This year we are entering two teams, each with ten contestants. The Hybrid Team (Run Walk) is formed from Club Members who are active members of the Walking Group and the Running Team comprises Saturday Morning runners. If you are interested in joining one of the teams please email info@striders.co.nz

 

 

Striders has restarted its running group!! The first group run was on Saturday (19th August) at 8am. The start/meeting point is the Stone Store Basin (Landing Road) car park. There are two options either long (7.6 km) or short (3.6 km) and you can choose if you want to be timed or not.

All ages/abilities are welcome. The runs regular weekend runs go ahead whatever the weather as we start to prepare for the Kerikeri Half Marathon. Don’t worry if you’re not at the top of your game, this is a casual event and a starting point for building fitness. After the run everyone is invited to a post-event social coffee at the Honeypot Cafe.

Hope to see you there just before 8am 😊

The annual Cape to Kaitaia cycle challenge is on the 17th June 2017 (http://www.farnorthflash.com/cape-ride) entry is $45. Striders have always made a big effort to support our cycling buddies in the Far Far North.

This year Striders members will have the option of making it a social weekend. A group of us will be travelling up to Hukatere Lodge (1 hour from the Cape) on the Friday evening. The plan is to load the bikes on to the club trailer at Kingston House at 5pm on the Friday and drive up to the Lodge for a shared evening meal and stay the night there. We’ll return to Kerikeri after ‘prize giving’ (always a hilarious occasion that only the Far North could stage) on Saturday afternoon.

Costs will be worked out nearer the time, but budget about $55 for accommodation and probably about $40 for transport. Supply your own food and drink.
