Track & Field

The club has an active and successful Track & Field section who operate mainly during the summer - October to April. We cater for the full range of Tack and Field events including sprints, hurdles, middle distance and distance running, race walking, throwing, jumping and pole vaulting.

Club members compete most saturdays, at the local Wellington Interclubs held at Newtown Park Stadium, and also in a range of National Competitions notably the National Teams Competition, the New Zealand Grand Prix and the local, regional and National Track & Field Championships. Many of our members are of school age and compete at the relevant Zone, Region, North Island and New Zealand Track & Field Championships.

Training

The club has a number of qualified and experienced coaches who can guide athletes in their training, whether they are complete beginners or elite international level competitors. See the coaching page for coaches contact details. Training is usually at Newtown Park stadium, in Newtown, or at the WHAC clubrooms. In the winter many athletes do gym training with their coaches, or run with the harriers section.
