Have a look at the results for the Mount Vernon Grand Traverse, Fun Run/Walk and Kids Challenge here.

It was a stunning day for this iconic event. No records broken, but an enjoyable day for all. A record turnout of children, our future runners.

See you all again next year.

Does your child like to run? Parkrun is child friendly at 8.00am every Saturday morning. Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm’s reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent’s choice. A child must not be dropped off without an adult in attendance for the duration of the event. This is a 5km run/walk which is run by volunteers so free to join and participate. Check out the parkrun website (https://www.parkrun.co.nz/blenheim/).

The 2026 season is up and running. Registration for membership is now open so click here to register yourself or your family.

See the calendar here and directions here for some interesting runs/walks this season.

Also the Athletics Nelson events this winter here.

As you will see above we have a new logo (rebranding). Often the word Harrier has the connotation of super fast runners. Our club is for all abilities of runners and walkers, including families. It is your choice how far or fast you run/walk. There is a mixture of social and competitive events.

The season starts in late March through to late September. Registration will be open soon for the 2026 season. Come along for a pack run/walk on a Thursday night or our Saturday events. At present we are under the Summer Runners programme.

Another event successfully held. We are pleased the hills were not closed because of fire risk.

Attached are the results and also record holders. If the spelling of your name or race time is incorrect email Ron Adams at 1965harrier@gmail.com and correction will be made.

Thank you to all for attending. We hope you enjoyed the race. See you next year.
