About Kerikeri Striders Multisports Club

Northland's Kerikeri Striders Multisports Club is a dynamic community sports club designed to inspire locals to embrace an active lifestyle. With dedicated sections for road biking, running, walking, and kayaking, the club fosters participation in a variety of multisports activities. Members enjoy the support of like-minded enthusiasts, helping everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes stay motivated. The club's emphasis on community involvement shines through events like the popular Kerikeri Half Marathon, where members train and compete together. Whether you're pounding the pavement on a run or paddling through calm waters, Striders provides the perfect platform to enhance your fitness and social connections.

Running and Walking Groups

Our running group is the heartbeat of the club, organising weekly Saturday morning runs along the scenic Rainbow Falls track. For added adventure, we hold away-runs most months to picturesque locations such as The Duke’s Nose, Totara North, and Urupukapuka Island. These outings not only build endurance but also showcase Northland's stunning natural landscapes. Complementing the runners, our walking group offers a gentler pace for those easing into activity, promoting health and enjoyment without the intensity. Both groups welcome all fitness levels, making it easy for the local community to get active and explore together.

Cycling Section

The cycling group brings energy to Sunday mornings with rides of up to 20 participants starting around 7.30am from the police station. These road bike outings cover varied terrains, providing challenging yet rewarding experiences for cyclists of all abilities. As a key part of our multisports offerings, the cycling section encourages endurance building and camaraderie, helping members push their limits while enjoying the fresh Northland air.

Kayaking and Club Facilities

Kayaking adds a water-based thrill to our multisports lineup, allowing members to navigate local waterways and appreciate the region's coastal beauty. For year-round training, our clubrooms at Kingston House on Hone Heke Road, Kerikeri, feature excellent facilities for indoor rowing, cycling, and general fitness. Available to members 24/7, these spaces ensure consistent progress regardless of weather. In Kerikeri, Northland, this setup supports a holistic approach to sports, integrating land, water, and indoor activities to keep the community engaged and fit.

In the heart of Kerikeri, our club thrives as a hub for Northland sports enthusiasts. The regional context of lush farmlands, rivers, and bays provides an ideal backdrop for our activities, drawing in locals eager to connect with nature through multisports.
