CLOUDLANDER Elite Running is a personal trainer based on Panorama Road in Clifton, on the Port Hills above Sumner in Christchurch. The name sets the focus: running coaching, built around training for people who want to get faster or go further on foot. For a runner, a coach who works from the Port Hills has the hill tracks and the views of the harbour and the Pacific close at hand, which suits training on climbs and descents as much as on flat road.
Clifton is a quiet residential suburb, a short drive from the Sumner beach and village and from the road routes out of the city. Among Christchurch running coaches, the Google rating of this business sits at the top of the scale, which is the first thing a visitor will notice on the listing. Our pick for a runner who wants one-to-one attention on the hills in the Port Hills and around Clifton.
