Discover Hamilton RoadRunners

Unleashing the Spirit of Adventure

Join us on a journey where passion meets the open road, and every mile tells a story of dedication and community.

Who We Are

Hamilton RoadRunners is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community of running enthusiasts. Our mission is to inspire and support runners of all levels, promoting health, wellness, and camaraderie.

For over 40 years Hamilton Road Runners have been actively running, walking, jogging and socialising. We meet every Thursday evening and Sunday morning, and you can find many of us at Hamilton Lake and University of Waikato parkruns. If you’re a keen runner or walker or looking to start out then come and try out one of our sessions.

SaturDay Activities

Many of us are parkrunners – see www.parkrun.co.nz for more info. WARNING This is a very addictive activity. These runs cater for both runners, plodders and walkers so check it out.

It is guaranteed there will be a visit to the post parkrun cafe afterwards for a full debrief.

Please note: Hamilton Road Runners is not a current member of Athletics NZ.

Join Our Running Community

Every Thursday at 5:30pm we host a run and walk from the Yacht Club followed by a drink and catch up afterwards – all are welcome.  Full shower facilities are available.

On Sunday an organised run/walk will take place on a route around the city and occasionally venturing further afield. These runs and walks are always followed by a visit to a local cafe. Check our calendar for details.
