🔥 The Trotterz took on another epic weekend!

Massive effort from everyone — another annual event ticked off and smashed out of the park! 💪✨

This morning at 4:30am, the Trotterz whānau made our way up Hakirimata to welcome in Te Tau Hou Māori and celebrate the rising of Matariki.

Together we breathed in the crisp morning air — “Hā ki roto, hā ki waho” — reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and the taiao around us. A beautiful reminder of the importance of hauora — mind, body, spirit, and whānau.

We reached the top just as the light began to break, and were treated to hot kawhe and fry bread to warm the wairua and fill the puku. 🙌🏽

Grateful for moments like this, where community, connection, and culture come together.

Manawatia a Matariki ✨
Here’s to a new year of growth, balance, and well-being.

The Trotterz Run and Hike Club

From The Huks to the Sunday Streets
What an incredible turnout this weekend! Starting strong in the early hours with a powerful climb in the Hakarimata Ranges — our crew continues to show up with consistency, drive, and unity. The Sunday Run Club brought even more whānau together, filling the morning with positive energy, tamariki, dogs, and community spirit.

It’s beautiful to see the kaupapa growing. Shout out to everyone who came through — your presence fuels the movement. Let’s keep the momentum alive — for our health, for our minds, and for each other.

What an epic weekend for our Trotterz whānau! 🏃‍♂️🥾✨

From our Friday 4:45 Run Club to the Sunday Run Club, we’ve been out there moving, connecting, and growing together. More pics and epic vibes coming soon — we’re just getting warmed up!

Kia ora Te Kauwhata! Part of our kaupapa is to uplift hauora — promoting health, well-being, and a strong sense of community, especially for those facing life’s battles. 💪🏽❤️

We’ve shown up and shown out — from our first event at the Mount Half Marathon to now conquering the Karapiro Marathon. We registered 2 teams in there for the 42kms and we all crossed the finish line.

Every step has been about unity, purpose, and pushing boundaries.

At the Trotterz, we cater for all styles, whether you're into Hiking, Jogging, or Running. Whatever your pace, whatever your goals, let’s get it, together. 🖤🔥

Our vision is simple: walk, hike, jog, or run, if you’re moving forward and part of this community, then you’re one of us.

Let’s keep it rolling for the kaupapa and each other.

We will see you for The Trotterz 445 Run Club and Sunday Run Club
