Athletics for Life

North Harbour Bays Athletics Club welcomes athletes aged 15 years and over, from those competing for the first time through to experienced national and international athletes.

Our senior membership provides athletes with the opportunity to represent Bays in competition while enjoying access to some of New Zealand's premier athletics facilities at AUT Millennium.

How Does Senior Membership Work?

Unlike our junior programme, Bays does not operate structured club training sessions for senior athletes.

Senior athletes join Bays as their athletics club and compete under the North Harbour Bays Athletics Club banner at Athletics Auckland, Athletics New Zealand, and other sanctioned competitions.

Athletes are free to train independently, train with a coach, or join one of the many coaching groups based at AUT Millennium.

World-Class Training Facilities

Senior membership includes access to outstanding athletics facilities at AUT Millennium, including:

Outdoor Athletics Track

• Full synthetic athletics track
• Bays athlete access periods
• Training alongside AUT Millennium members and high-performance athletes

Indoor Sports Hall

Access to one of New Zealand's premier indoor athletics training environments, including:

• Indoor running track
• High Jump facilities
• Long Jump facilities
• Pole Vault facilities
• Strength and conditioning areas
• Powerlifting zone

These facilities allow athletes to train year-round regardless of weather conditions.

Coaching Opportunities

Bays works with a number of experienced coaches covering a wide range of athletics disciplines.

Athletes seeking coaching support are encouraged to contact the club, and we can help connect you with coaches and training groups that best suit your event and goals.

Coaching arrangements are generally made directly between athletes and coaches.

Competition Opportunities

Senior athletes can compete in a wide range of competitions throughout the year, including:

• Athletics Auckland Interclub competitions
• Auckland Championships
• New Zealand Championships
• Masters competitions
• Road and Cross Country events
• International competitions and representative opportunities

Whether your goal is fitness, personal improvement, or elite competition, Bays provides a pathway for athletes at every level.
