Walking Group - Lets go for a walk

Are you new to the area, recently retired or just wanting to walk with happy fun loving like-minded people who enjoy their exercise with good companions, good chatter and a good cup of coffee at the end of it. If this sounds like you then you’re invited to  come along and join the walking group at the Mount Maunganui Runners and Walkers Club.

We have a range of age groups with lots of varying abilities so there is always something in your size. Our weekly walks are for an hour every Tuesday and Friday morning and we can sure cover a wide range of walks in this time. We encourage our members to stay fit and active by challenging themselves, so our walks try to give you this opportunity. From flat and fast beach walks, up hills and down dales, stairs, our beautiful base of the mount track or take on the Mt Summit Challenge, where we work with you towards achieving this goal, especially if you haven’t done this for a while.

There is always something going on that you can join in outside of the specific club days and once you are a member you may join our member only Facebook page where these activities are shared. Everyone is always welcome. We love to participate in events both local and out of area as well. Last year we travelled to Whitianga, Taupo and a group also travelled to Rarotonga for the Around Rarotonga Road Race. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Being a part of our group means you not only enjoy exercise comraderies but you build friendships, good support networks for when you need that extra hand and this ensures your mental wellbeing is in good spirit.

For those that need that little bit more the club also offers you a run walking group- where you are able to either move slowly into running or perhaps rebuild after an injury as well as the runners group including our beginner’s group for those wishing to get into running. We also offer a child-minding service for those mums wanting to enjoy that hour of exercise without worry.

Wait no longer come along and find out more for yourself. You can join up here or come along to a club morning to see how you enjoy it and then join up.
