Welcome to Scottish in 2009

The women’s section of Wellington Scottish was strong and growing with over 80 members in 2008. We are an inclusive club, and whatever your standard or goals we have a place for you. Our membership covers women of all speeds, both runners and walkers, and includes a large age range. 

We cater for both competitive and social runners, with club handicap and interclub races throughout the harrier season, interspersed with pack runs from our clubhouse in Mount Cook or from other venues throughout Wellington, giving us all a chance to experience a bit more of the city. The harrier season starts at the end of March and finishes in October.

Recent achievements

Scottish women compete throughout the year, over a wide variety of distances and disciplines. Some recent highlights:

• Christine Jones and Karen Gillespie, winners of women’s team event at the Bayleys Mountain to Surf Marathon in Taranaki
• Melissa Moon, winner of the Mt Lowry challenge
• Tina Harris, winner of the 1500m at the Wellington Championships
• Scottish Women’s Masters Team, winners of the NZ Road Relay in Timaru.

In addition over the last year Scottish women have competed in Coast to Coast, NZ Ironman plus countless other triathlons, mountain races and multisport events. They have done Splash and Dash, Round the Bays and regularly supported the Loaded Hog 5ks.

You can just turn up. Our harrier season schedule is online at Winter Programme. You can turn up to any pack run and just join in.  New members are always welcome and you are free to run with us a few times to try it out with no obligation to join.
