What can the Hawks Road & Cross Country offer you?

Training Sessions

There are many opportunities to train with HAWKS in group sessions. Running at least some of your runs with others provides motivation, the chance for social contact, and gives the benefit of that competitive edge when extra effort is required. More details

Junior Training Sessions

Juniors squad sessions vary from year to year depending on the needs and other commitments of the young athletes involved. Contact us for more information

Coaches

HAWKS has some great coaching offering Tuesday night sessions to achieve your goals, whatever those might be. See further coach details at the bottom of this page.

Social

Many of our members contact each other for group runs and trail runs at the weekends. Ranging from local training runs, races or forming teams for events such as the Round Taupo Relay and the Tarawera Ultra. Like Us on Facebook to keep in the loop with the weekend social runs and events. Follow and join with others through our Hawks on Strava group.
