Thank you for your interest in the Trailblazers’ Youth Development Programme for term 2, a fee-free initiative that utilises the power of running and the magic of nature to help rangatahi develop self confidence, social and emotional skills, leadership, determination and resilience to stress.

They will actively participate and challenge themselves to complete events (www.forestrunfest.co.nz 5km trail running event for term 2).
They will gain a strong sense of belonging, develop positive relationships and experience great achievement.
Following the term programme, they will have the opportunity to continue to be involved and even adopt leadership roles for new participants in ongoing Trailblazer programmes.

Community Training Sessions (numbers limited)
∂ Tuesdays 3:30 - 4:45pm Beckenham Park - Tempo (speed) and games based session
∂ Thursdays 3:30 - 4:45pm Victoria Park and various locations: Halswell Quarry, Adventure Park - Trail day, easy paced, conversational pace running as a team/pack
 - schedules sent out in advance
(Start time includes meet and greet / settle in time)

Participants can attend either of the sessions or both.
If they attend only one, we support them to complete a small run in their own time - and we acknowledge other training / sports as complementary to the Trailblazers programme (eg a rugby training session = a run)

Team tops and journals for participants
