Bestest lil running club .
Shoutout to the Hamilton Harriers – the pioneers of Round the Bridges! 🏃♀️ It was the Hamilton Harrier Club who kickstarted what would become one of New Zealand’s most iconic road races. With a vision to open road racing to the public and showcase local talent, they launched the very first Lugtons Round the Bridges – and the rest is history.
Also known as the Hamilton City Hawks the Harriers laid the foundation for a race that still brings thousands together every year.
