Thinking of New Year Goals?

Tentatively 25th September 2021 is the Blue Lake Challenge  https://www.bluelake24hr.com. As many 5.5km laps as you want to do in 24hours, so something for everyone (some people only run one lap).  Al is really keen for the club to go to this event, so Al’s challenge to you is (a) put this in your diary, and (b) set yourself a personal goal for this event (be it 5.5km or 160km). You don’t have to tell anyone your distance, it doesn’t cost anything to enter, and it will be great fun supporting each other.  Let Al know if you are interested and we will try to secure a spot to put up a club gazebo as our aid station for each lap. Rotorua has lots of other things to do to make it a fun weekend for everyone.

The Clubroom is now open again!

Please ensure that you follow the usual clubroom hygiene routines; wiping down equipment before and after use.  Thank you for your patience – let’s get back to enjoying the great facilities.

Striders Clubroom Closure Announcement for Alert Level 2

by

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
