Paid Membership

Competition
For those looking to compete in Athletics, Cross Country, Trail or Road Racing, a competitive membership gives you an opportunity to represent the club at these events, with lower entry fees. We can also help to connect you with coaches and other training groups.

Grants and Support
The club offers internal and applies for external grants to support our competitive athletes. We will apply for grants to subsidise travel costs to national events including the New Zealand Track & Field Championships and the New Zealand Cross Country Championships, as well as offering grants directly from the club for athletes competing at overseas events (such as the Oceania Athletic Championships).
