Welcome to the Alexandra Harrier and Walkers Club

"Run and walk over the hills of Central Otago with the harriers!"

Members of the Alexandra Harriers and Walkers Club go running and walking every winter Saturday afternoon between Easter and Labour Weekend. We explore the hills and valleys around Central Otago, usually meeting at 1:00pm in Alexandra and taking a bus to our venue. The runs and walks are normally 1.5 hours long and finish with a hot cuppa back at the bus.

With four running packs and two or three walking groups, all levels of fitness are catered for. Visitors to Central are invited to join in.
