18:00 (Wednesdays)

Atlantic Athletics Club has a weekly time trial around the Green Point common on Wednesday evenings at 18h00. It is a small and relaxed running club so the time trials are normally quite small (10-30 people) and there is a jovial atmosphere.

There are runners with a variety of capabilities - the 5km route is normally run in between 17 and 30 minutes! New comers are always welcomed and offered a cup of coke at the finish. Results are often published in the local newspapers.

The run starts at the Hamiltons Rugby Club in Green Point and is a double loop around the Green Point commons area. The route is flat and at sea level so it should be quick, although the wind does sometimes blow fairly hard.

Tips
  • There is also an 8km version of the run although this is not often done
  • You could stop off for a beer in the rugby club after the run

Getting There
  • The run starts at the Hamiltons Rugby Club in Green Point
  • Hamiltons is fairly obvious on Stephan Way and there is parking available at the club
  • It can be a little tricky getting to the start while roads are closed for the stadium construction - go all the way to Beach Road before turning in

They've moved the start

Because of the stadium construction the start of the time trial has moved. It's now on the promenade outside Newport Deli.
