The Waitakere Ranges is a country park located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island only 30 minutes drive from central Auckland. There are over 250Km of trails, paths and tracks all of which are runnable. This is our playground and we run there most of the time.
We’re a small group of social runners and joggers – Waitakere trails and dam roads preferred, no racing, no roads and we wait for everyone, all followed by a BYO ginger beer… There are no fees or charges, we just run for the fun of it!
Tuesdays 5:15 pm
Mill Bay, Huia Road, 1st car park (larger). A 55 minute, 8Km run, along Cornwallis beach and trails, with a few shortcuts.
Thursdays 5:45 pm
We run from the junction of Huia Road & Exhibition drive, just before Victory Road every Thursday, 50 minutes. Only 5 mins. from Titirangi, opposite #394 Huia Road…
Saturdays 2:00 pm Somewhere in the Waitakeres!
We wander around, looking for nice trails and routes, generally a longer run, often 10Km but with a shortcut for the less adventurous. Call, blog or email me for details of where we’re off to this week. We give everyone a map and make sure you’re in a similar ability group. We can generally offer a lift to the start.
Meet us there, our sign marks the spot, or call:
