🏃‍♀️❤️🖤 WOW! What an amazing two Have a Go club nights! ❤️🖤🏃‍♂️

We’ve had an incredible turnout, possibly the biggest our club has ever seen! 🤩 Seeing so many happy tamariki, from ages 1 through to 14, getting involved, giving things a go and having fun has been absolutely TŪ MEKE! 🙌
A huge thank you to all the families who have come along and supported us over the last two weeks. It’s been awesome seeing our athletics community grow, and we can’t wait to see what the season brings! 💪

🏃 WEEKLY PROGRAMMES START NEXT WEEK!
From next week onwards, we’re hoping to get our regular weekly programmes up and running. To make this happen, we need more volunteers to help out on club nights.
❤️🖤 No previous athletics knowledge or experience is needed — just a willingness to lend a hand! If you can spare some time to help, please reach out to any of our current volunteers. Every little bit helps, and we’d love to have you on board!

📝 REGISTRATIONS & ROLL CALL
From next week, we’ll also be taking a roll call of registered members at each club night. If you haven’t registered yet, please make sure you get your registration completed ASAP so you’re ready to go! All registered children should be wearing their age patch each week.

❓ Still unsure about something or have questions?
Feel free to send us a message through this page or get in touch via our email. We’re more than happy to help!

Thank you again for the amazing support so far. We’re excited to keep building our club and providing a fun, welcoming place for our tamariki to get active, try new things and enjoy athletics! ❤️🖤🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

❤️🖤🤍 PAPAKURA – IT’S COLGATE GAMES TIME! 🤍🖤❤️

One of the highlights of the junior athletics season is back — entries are now OPEN for the 2027 Colgate Games! 🎉

For our 7–14 year olds, Colgates are about so much more than athletics. It’s three days of competing, having fun, making new friends and being part of a fantastic athletics community. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

📍 NORTH ISLAND – WHANGĀREI
📅 8–10 January 2027

📍 SOUTH ISLAND – INVERCARGILL
📅 15–17 January 2027

Whether it’s your first Colgates or you’re already hooked, we’d love to see Papakura Athletics well represented and our red, black and white colours out there! ❤️🖤🤍

And just a little warning… Colgate Games are very addictive! 😄 Once you’ve been to one, you’ll probably be planning the next one before you’ve even got home!

📅 ENTRIES CLOSE 7 DECEMBER
So there’s still plenty of time to decide.

🏨 Thinking about going? We recommend getting your accommodation sorted early, as places can fill up quickly around the Games.
