It’s that time of year again – 16 weeks to go until the Kerikeri Half Marathon hits town! That means if you are a beginner or improver this is the perfect opportunity to get those trainers on. The Kerikeri Half is mainly downhill so a Personal Best is always on the cards.

Join us on Saturday mornings 8.00, Stone Store basin car park – Landing Road side for a 5k or 8k run or walk along the Falls track. We are a friendly bunch of runners of all abilities, from walkers to ultra-runners. There is always someone to help you along or give you a bit of competition.

Striders Clubroom Closure Announcement for Alert Level 2

13th May 2020 by Di

The Kerikeri Striders Multi Sports Committee has decided that the clubroom will NOT be re-opening under Alert Level 2. The Club takes the responsibility of the health & safety of all our members very seriously and sincerely regrets that it is not possible to re-open at this stage. The decision was not taken lightly but primarily because the clubroom is unmanned and unsupervised at all times. For this reason it is not possible to control and manage either the number of people using the facility or ensure that all surfaces are sufficiently clean and sanitized at all times ready for members use.

We thank you for your continued patience and understanding at this time and we will keep members informed as to the re-opening date as soon as it is finalised.

Kia Kaha, be safe, be kind
