The Huia Road Bush Runners is a small group of social runners and joggers who run on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays in Auckland's Waitakere Ranges; these are free training runs and all are welcome.
There is no racing, no roads and they wait for everyone, all followed by a BYO ginger beer. There are no fees or charges, just running for the fun of it.
All are welcome: there are typically 20 in the summer on Saturdays and 12 to 15 in the winter.
5:15pm. Mill Bay, Huia Road, 1st car park (larger). A 55 minute, 8K run, along Cornwallis beach and trails, with a few shortcuts.
5:45pm. From the junction of Huia Road and Exhibition drive, just before Victory Road. 50 minutes. Only 5 minutes from Titirangi, opposite 394 Huia Road.
2:00pm. Somewhere in the Waitakeres. They wander around, looking for nice trails and routes, generally a longer run, often 10K but with a shortcut for the less adventurous. Saturday August 27th (Cornwallis Beach) and Saturday September 24th are Half Marathon distances.
The map below shows the starting locations for the runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. See below the map for information about each map point. The Saturday runs are different each week, so check the official website (linked to above) for Saturday run details and contact email and phone number.
