Wellington Scottish Athletics Club is one of New Zealand's largest running clubs, based at Salisbury Terrace in Mount Cook, Wellington. It welcomes runners and walkers of every level, from beginners to elite, and it runs group adventures across the hills, coastlines and cafes around the city.
The club runs a year-long season of races on roads, cross-country, track and field and trail running. Its regular sessions are Tuesday speed sessions, Saturday pack runs and Sunday long runs, and members have coaches and teammates to help them reach their goals. Members get free entry to Athletics Wellington races and relays. The club's bright yellow singlets, with a red lion, are a familiar sight at running events around New Zealand.
For a runner who wants company on the hills, the club's mix of speed work, social pack runs and long Sunday runs gives something for most stages of training.
