What Happens within the LAKE CITY ATHLETIC CLUB in its sport of Athletics?
TRACK and FIELD - From November to March, track and field (run, jump, throw and walk) is held at the top ground of the International Stadium, Devon Street, Rotorua. The children’s section conducts their activities on a Tuesday evening, commencing at 5.00pm. Children between 5 and 11 years are catered for, with a range of activities being held. The adult section for those 12 years and beyond takes place on a Wednesday evening commencing at 6.15pm. All abilities are catered for - the fast, the slow and the in between.
WEEKLY RUNNING and WALKING GROUPS - Tuesdays and Thursdays – running and walking groups leave the Neil Hunt Park Clubrooms (off Tarawera Road) from 5.15pm. Sundays – running and walking groups leave the Neil Hunt Park Clubrooms from 7.00pm.
CROSS COUNTRY and ROAD RUNNING - These are the winter activities of the Club, and involve events in the Whakarewarewa Forest, over farmland or on the roads around the City.
MARATHON CLINIC - This popular clinic caters for both runners and walkers to help prepare particularly first timers for half marathons and the full marathons – especially the popular Rotorua Marathon. The clinic has two sections, with the walk section getting underway early October / November and the running section towards the end of January. The clinics meet 7.00am at the Neil Hunt Park Clubrooms, off Tarawera Road. All abilities are catered for but it is preferred when first attending that you can walk comfortably at your own pace for at least 2 hours and run for a least 1 and ¼ hours at you own pace. The Marathon clinic is a good way to gain a fitness base in the company and camaraderie of others.
SUMMER ROAD RUNNING and WALKING – During the summer months, the Club arranges a series of road running and walking events (the Trout Fly Summer Series) often followed by a BBQ. Contact the club for details and the venue.
HEADQUARTERS - The main clubrooms of the Lake City Athletic Club are situated at Neil Hunt Park, off Tarawera Road. This is the base for the clubs / distance running activities.
MEMBERSHIP FEE - You can join the Lake City Athletic Club for what many consider is a very nominal fee.
