University of Canterbury Athletic Club Welcome to the 2020-2021 Season!! CLUB REGISTRATION NOW OPEN Please go to our REGISTRATION page This is going to be another great season for UC Athletics even though it has been shortened by Covid 19. We are all looking forward to seeing you all out there in your Maroon and Gold. Established in 1898 we are a club with a proud history, for 122 years we have been running, socialising and motivating people to get out there and give it a go! We cater for ALL athletes from the weekend warrior to the world class! It does not matter how old or fit you currently are, we all start somewhere, most of our top athletes came from humble beginnings and have trained hard to get to where they are now. UC Athletics puts a big emphasis on relays, and running as a team. We enter all local relay events and send teams away to the annual Lovelock Relays in Dunedin and National Road Relays to be in Feilding this year. The club currently has a great depth of talent throughout all age groups, which has seen members dominate recent distance events throughout Canterbury and New Zealand and recently Angie Petty at the Rio Olympics, and the 2018 Commonwealth Games. We aim to foster and encourage all athletes to reach their goals. Current members are enthusiastic and ready to share their passion for our sport with you! We have experienced and successful coaches for all events and distances, regular social runs and events, a large variety of group training sessions for all ages including a strength and conditioning circuit training block during the winter WINTER PROGRAMME 2020 Click on links to enter 27th June - Andrew Reese Memorial Races - Ascot Park 4th July - Rawhiti Races (formerly Jane Paterson) - Rawhiti Domain 18th July - Kennett Cup/SI Cross Country Champs - Ascot Park 1st August - Lakeside Relays - Lake Roto Kohatu 8th August - Canterbury Cross Country Champs - Halswell Quarry Park 22nd August - 2k, 3k, 4k and 5k Cross Country Races (all grades) - Nth Hagley Park 29th August - National Cross Country Championships - Dunedin 5th September - Andrew Reese Memorial Relays - Rangiora 12th September - Takahe to Akaroa Relay 19th September - Governors Bay to Lyttelton 3rd October - National Relay - Feilding 10th October - Canterbury Road Championships - Agricultural Park 1st November - Canterbury Half Marathon Championships - Selwyn Running Festival 7th November - National Road Championships - Auckland |
