Stories
Tales from the trails, roads, and running community of Wellington.
Big Sunday Runs (BSR)
We had a chat with Chris Martin who is the main man behind Big Sunday Runs (BSR) based in Wellington. BSR brings together a tough breed of trail/mountain running enthusiasts who prefer the rugged off the beaten track mountain missions.
Jumbo Holdsworth Trail Race
One of the most grueling yet achievable mountain races of the lower North Island is held each year in January in the mighty Tararua ranges.
The Kea Track Club of Wellington
The Kea Track Club had its genesis in October 21, 2015 – almost by accident, you could say. Steve Plowman, who had been coaching runners for 37 years, had all but decided to retire from coaching when he was approached by three runners whose coach had left town and retired.
National Road Relays
We followed our favourite Wellington Running Clubs to Rotorua for the National Road Relays. Wellington was strongly represented by a large contingent of Wellington Scottish and Wellington Harrier Athletics Club athletes taking part across all age categories.
Wellington Run Fest
Something pretty amazing happened over Labour Weekend here in Wellington. Mike and Ewa, of Wellington Running Meetup fame and all-round beautiful humans, spent much of their 2017 organising a 48 hour extravaganza of running.
Tip Track Marathon
There is a track that almost every Wellington trail runner knows jokes about and dreads. It's called the Tip Track.
Vic Uni Run Club
A recent resurgence of the Varsity Club has seen it become a contender on the Wellington Running scene. Over the past year, it has grown immensely and has turned into 'the club' to be a part of.
You Know the Drill
For most people who take up running, the appeal of the sport is its simplicity. It is one of the easiest recreational activities to get started with.
