Manawatu Striders

Manawatu Striders is a running and walking club in Palmerston North, New Zealand, founded in 1983 as the Manawatu Marathon Clinic. It caters for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, from those seeking general fitness to members training for a half or full marathon. Sessions are run in groups at a range of speeds and distances, led by experienced runners and walkers, with a Tuesday evening run and a longer Sunday morning run.

Runners meet Tuesday evenings at 18:15 at Ongley Park on Park Road, by the YMCA (Super Sevens start line area), and on Sunday mornings at 08:00 from the club rooms in the carpark behind the Esplanade cafe for a longer run with a range of paces and the option to shorten the distance. Newcomers are invited to try 2-3 sessions before joining, and during March visitors can come along before becoming members. The membership year runs 1 April to 31 March and includes affiliation to Athletics New Zealand: social membership NZ$73 (covers all weekly club training), competitive membership NZ$107 (for those competing at regional and national championships, for people over 20), and a NZ$30 second-club associate/club volunteer option for members of another affiliated club.
