​​​​​​​ROSMINI DISTANCE RUNNING

Our Programme

Rosmini College Distance Running offers something for every runner - whether you’re chasing podiums or just keen to get moving with your mates.

Our programme spans both Cross Country and Road Racing, providing clear pathways from Intermediate (Year 7 & 8) Zone Day right through to North Harbour, Auckland & NZ Secondary Schools Championships, plus Auckland & NZ Secondary Schools Road Race Championships.  Along the way, students have the opportunity to test themselves, represent the College with pride, and be part of a strong and supportive running culture.

For those who simply want to build fitness, clear the head, or enjoy running socially, our before-school Run Club is a great place to start. It’s relaxed, inclusive, and a chance to connect with others while developing healthy habits.

At Rosmini, distance running is about more than results. It’s about resilience, consistency, and the satisfaction that comes from putting one foot in front of the other. Whether you’re running for participation, fitness, friendship, or competition - there’s a place for you here.
