Founded in 2011, the New Brighton Olympic Athletics Club has become a vibrant hub for athletics in the Eastern Suburbs of Christchurch, New Zealand. Nestled in the picturesque Rawhiti Domain, New Brighton, our club is dedicated to nurturing athletes of all ages and skill levels, from children taking their first steps in sports to adults rediscovering their love for athletics. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy the benefits of physical activity and the thrill of competition.

​

We welcome athletes of all ages and abilities. We have a wide range of abilities enjoying running, jumping and throwing, from beginners to seasoned track & field or ultra marathoner runners. Ages range from anything from 7 to 70 plus. The club is built on a solid foundation of active participation by a large number of members who enjoy and encourage success amongst all age groups.

 

Our mission is to inspire and empower individuals through athletics. We believe that sports have the power to transform lives, promoting physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of community. We aim to provide a platform for everyone to develop their skills, achieve personal goals, and form lifelong friendships.​​​​
