Olympic Junior Athletics

The Olympic Harrier and Athletics Club offers athletics in the summer and cross country and road running in the winter. We're a year round club with coaching, club days and club trips on offer throughout the year - no matter how young or old you are.

We are one of the biggest junior athletics clubs in the Wellington region and have won the overall junior interclub and 7 to 9 year old interclub trophies many times.

SHOE CLINIC PORIRUA

Our Olympic Club is supported by the SHOE CLINIC IN PORIRUA: If you're looking for running or walking shoes, spikes or running gear go and see Jeremy and his team at Shoe Clinic in the North City Shopping Centre in Porirua. They can order in shoes especially for you if they're not on the shop floor. They're very helpful and give 10% of your sale back to the club - you just need to say you're an Olympic member. Sign up with them and they'll keep track of your purchases. Once you reach $500 they give you a $50 gift voucher:
