The Hill City–University Athletics Club is a Dunedin based club that provides an environment for both competitive and non-competitive athletes of all ages and abilities.
Compete at The Caledonian Ground, on one of New Zealand’s top synthetic athletic tracks through the summer, with a variety of track and field events run each weekend. These are for both senior athletes, as well as a separate children’s programme and training day. See the Track and Field, or Children’s page for more information.
In winter, the Harrier season provides a social run group for each ability from slower runners to the speedy quick. A great way to meet new people and enjoy some of Dunedin’s variety in running terrain. We also have a walkers group who head out for a social walk, ideal for all ages.
We have a calendar of races also incorporating a selection of club and Otago interclub events for every ability. These are fun for everyone, whether you are an elite or everyday kind of runner. See the Harriers page for more information.
