During the July to August we offer a Sunday Gym session ($10) for our 10+ Year athletes at Revolve Gym in Tawa. We also run a shorter version of our Summer training program. See our Heja group for more details.
Harriers Winter training
Olympic has built up a strong middle distance group of runners who run track in the summer and cross country and road in the winter. Great training for the school cross country season. Lots of fun training with others in a team environment with kids of all ages and abilities. We have training groups for everyone so don't worry if you're just starting out. Fantastic fitness training for your other summer and winter sports too. Check out our main Harriers site for more information on coaching and trainings.
