Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our running club

Do I need to be an experienced runner to join?

+

Not at all! Kiwi Running Hero welcomes everyone, from complete beginners and walkers to seasoned marathoners. Our rotating weekly program (Steady State, Intervals, Fartlek, Hills) is designed with modifications for different levels. Our coaches will help you find the right intensity and distance for you.

What should I bring to the running sessions?

+

Please wear comfortable running shoes and appropriate workout clothing for the weather. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Optional but recommended: a watch or fitness tracker (especially for heart rate training weeks) and a small towel. Most importantly, bring a positive attitude!

Where and when do the sessions take place?

+

We meet every Saturday morning at 9:15 AM sharp at The Exercise Room, G05/100 Parnell Road, Parnell. We utilize various scenic and safe routes in the surrounding Parnell and Domain areas, chosen based on the week's training focus.

Is the Run Club included in the gym membership?

+

Yes! The weekly Run Club session is included in our Platinum Membership, which also gives you 24/7 access to the gym and all other classes. If you're not a member, you can join a run anytime by purchasing a 10-class concession pass.

How does the charity contribution work?

We're proud to support The Women's Suffrage charity. 10% of the revenue generated from all Run Club 10-class concession passes is donated directly to support their important work.
