Who are we?
The club was founded in
1933 making it one of the oldest Clubs in Auckland. Wesley has
a strong Junior programme with emphasis on participation and
fun. The junior programme is a mixture of individual team events
with each one different and offering fresh challenges.
Among the senior ranks there has been a strong marathon interest
largely due to life member & NZ 1960 Olympic Bronze medallist
Barry Magee who in 1998 celebrated his 50th year with the club.
Wesley Senior Men have consistently placed in the top ten at
the NZ Road Relay Championships, in the top three at the Rotorua
Marathon teams championship and have won Gold & Silver in
the NZ Marathon Teams Championships in recent years.
In spite of such success
Wesley remains a friendly family orientated club aimed at "Fun,
Friends & Fitness" with a great mixture of swimmers/triathletes
like NZ representatives Andrew & William Curtanye, Tom Moyes,
Dean & Brent Foster, marathon and ultra runners like NZ representatives
Kerry Pascoe, Mike Potter & Ian Sussex, tracksters, road
runners, joggers and walkers. Currently two of our young seniors,
Andrew Haigh & Simon Bucknell, are on American Athletic scholarships
- studying and running in the USA.
The club events are geared
towards family participation and aimed at supplementing external
races with fun events like our Three Peaks run & breakfast,
Mile races through Cornwall Park and the Riddell relay. Numerous
training runs are held each week for club members and friends
to come along to - hope to see you this season.
Honour Roll - Life Members
Over the years the club
has recognised a number of individuals who have given up their
time and energy and have demonstrated outstanding commitment
and service to the Wesley. It has honoured these individuals
with Life Membership of the club. Some of these have passed from
our current world but we list their names in honour of their
contribution.
Bruce Verry, Clive Woollett,
Bruce Parkes, Barry Magee, Neil Barker, Lola Gilbert, Royce Norton,
