Olympic Harriers is a running club based in Johnsonville, with its clubrooms in the top field at Alex Moore Park on Bannister Avenue. It is a harrier club, so its focus is on running in the varied terrain around Wellington: road, track, cross country and trail. The club runs weekly sessions that include a Club Long Sunday Run, a Club pack run, club drills and intervals, and core strengthening classes. Junior members have their own sessions, including middle distance training and a Junior Athletics Club Night, and children's track and field, cross country and road running are covered on the separate Olympic Juniors website. The club also organises events of its own, such as the Kaukau Skyline Traverse and the Wellington Mountain Running Championships, and takes part in the Shaw Baton Relays and the National Road Relays.
The club is an old one in Wellington running, and its results carry weight. It retained the top club trophy at the North Island Cross Country Champs in early July 2026. Membership forms for the 2026/2027 harrier year are now available. Its track meetings and road races sit alongside the wider Athletics Wellington calendar, and its cross country results come from the same competitions as the rest of the region's clubs. For a harrier club, that mix of trail, road and track is the point: the same runners train on the hills of Kaukau and race on the track in the same season.
