Monday Night Training
Joining New Brighton Olympic for the winter season is especially worthwhile if:
-
You want to give your child good running skills and aerobic conditioning going into their summer sporting season (athletics, cricket, touch rugby – whatever).
-
You want to introduce your child to the mental toughness that makes a good tri-athlete.
-
You want to give your child something to do when rain cancels out their rugby or other team sport event (Saturday harriers is rarely cancelled).
-
You want to have some family fun (and harriers is fun – it’s got drama); you can participate as a helper, a spectator. Or, like many parents, you can put your shorts on and treat the race as a fitness run. There's no need to be a club member since the public is welcome at most harrier events – just turn up and pay the small entry fee.
