Training Runs

Sunday 7.45 am

We meet beside the Sign of the Takahe on Dyers Pass Road. Runs usually involve running up to the top of the Harry Ell track and then along the Summit Road either left towards Rapaki or right towards Sign of the Bluebird. We normally split into two groups running for 90 to 120 minutes. Any changes to the start location of the Sunday run will be notified via a banner on this website by 8pm on Saturday night.

Wednesdays 6.00 pm

Summer speedwork is moving on 8 October 2025 to Wednesdays at South Hagley Park. Speedwork starts at 6pm from the Saturday startline on Deans Ave. Warm up from 5.30 pm. We then break into groups to run the distances and times that Don tells us to. On November 5th we move to the grass track at Ilam Fields. Details to come. If bad weather forces cancellation, this will be notified by 3pm on Wednesday via a banner on this websites homepage, and on Facebook.

Saturday 7.30 am

We meet at Ayr Street, usually for a tempo or other structured run around South Hagley Park. On the last Saturday of the month DGRS runners act as pacers for the Hagley Parkrun. Usually our pacer's provide pacing for 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27 and 30 minutes. Our friends from Halswell Run provide pacing for 32, 35, 37 and 40 minutes.
