All about the Joggers and Walkers section...
The Joggers and Walkers section of Massey Athletics Club is for all ages and any fitness level. We meet at the clubrooms on 53 Granville Drive each Sunday morning at 8am.
The main focus of our gatherings is to enjoy some healthy exercise and build friendships that come from jogging (or walking) with others in a group. We are not all serious runners or speedy athletes, although some of us have run than a few marathons and half marathons and we still compete from time to time... just not as fast as we were perhaps a few years ago.
The duration of our Sunday runs and walks are generally around 60 minutes. When we have had more numbers with a greater mix of ability, we have shorter, intermediate or beginner courses we can take you on. Where some of our members are training for events, we tend to run farther, but for those beginners or those just wanting a casual jog, we have members who are quite happy to do less time and distance with you to help you build your fitness so that the distance and speed is well within your capability.
Our surrounding locality offers an awesome variety of terrains. We have a everything from grass fields, to bush tracks, to gravel tracks and dirt tracks... even a stream we can run around. Massey has alot of hills and even the odd straight road, so there's always something for everyone. When we need a change from what Massey offers we can jog out to Hobsonville Point and take in the harbour views or head out to Red Hills Road for some farm views.
After the morning run (or walk) we meet back at the clubrooms where their are showers available. We then have a morning tea and catch up on everyone's news and listen to a few stories. All this for an annual club subscription of just $45.
