Well done to all the Waimea Harriers members taking part in the Club champs last Saturday.
Here are the 2026 Club Champions - trophies will be presented at the Club AGM in November:
By popular demand - continued for Wednesdays in Winter
Wednesday Social Runs/Walks From Club Waimea
Wednesdays 5:30pm in Winter 2026
A group of keen runners and walkers will be meeting in the Club Waimea carpark at 5:30pm on Wednesdays in Winter for a relaxed social run or walk around the Meadows/Berryfields area. Various paces offered. We’ll head out for around 45 minutes, then gather afterwards at Club Waimea for a drink and a chat.
If there is enough interest, these events will continue through winter. You will need a light/torch for when it gets dark and bright reflective clothing is also a good idea so that cyclists can see you.
Everyone is welcome. There’s no fee, no official timing and no race numbers.
