Athletics NZ have an online registration process that allows you to register and pay online. If you are an athlete, coach or would like to be a volunteer then please use the link below to register for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. 


The Harriers and Atheltics Clubs are now combined under the club name - Whanganui  to make it easier for members to run all year round. There will be winter and summer membership options if you only wish to run over these periods and members can wear both the Harriers or Atheltics Club singlets when competing. Children have the option to wwear the club T shirt.

​​​​​

If you want to compete in any club events after the first of November you must be a registered member or you will be required to pay a casual fee of $8 per session. This is to help the club cover the cost of hiring Cooks Gardens. You can register at any time so visit our membership link and register today.


The subscription fees set by the club for the 2025-2026 season include components for contributions for the Region, and also Athletics NZ.


Those contributions remain the same as the prior year. The club does not receive these fees. They are allocated to the Region and Athletics NZ to enable overall sport development for Athletics in the wider region Manawatu Wanganui and across the Country.
