Club Description

The Early Bird Run Crew was born from a passion to improve mental and physical health. As a community-led movement, we strive to be welcoming, positive and empowering. We want to unite local communities across New Zealand to be happier and healthier. Come run with us!

We meet at the bus stop (see above), and run the Hobsonville 5K loop or another local route.
You donโt need to come along every time. The idea is that whenever you do decide to run, you know thereโll be others there doing the same. Before we run we take a group photo so that absent Crew members know what theyโre missing! Everyone sets off together, but people run at their own pace โ how you feel on the day determines your gas pedal. Invariably, that means splitting into similarly-paced groups and chatting while we run, but no worries if you prefer to go solo!

The ethos behind the crews is that they are more social than competitive, so donโt be put off if youโre new to running. That said, if youโre a keen runner looking to improve, youโll find like-minded people to share training tips with and help push you on.

The mental health benefits of running and human connection are undeniable, thatโs why weโre proud to support the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. This connection is very light touch โ people donโt show up to be counselled… although thereโs no better therapy than a run and a chat!
