These include a monthly off-road series through Waikanae Park, social group runs (which usually culminate in a coffee and scone at a local café), and club handicap runs and relays.
In summer it operates the popular Summer 5km Series on Monday evenings which is open to any runners and walkers to participate in and includes spot prizes after every race.
As well as partaking in club events, members have free entry into interclub events throughout the Greater Wellington region, which see some hot competition every year.
They also have free entry to all club-run events, so membership very quickly pays for itself.
As with so many small, volunteer-run organisations, Covid-19 hit the club hard last year.
The national running calendar suffered many cancellations and postponements of events, and lockdown meant many people were training in isolation.
Registration numbers dropped as a reflection of this situation.
This year, however, the club is back with more enthusiasm than ever and actively seeking new members.
While it is home to a few very good athletes, most are 'mid pack' or 'social' so it is not at all intimidating.
The club would love to hear from anyone who enjoys running and would like to try some events, or just those who would enjoy some company while running.
People of all ages are welcome, and most club events have races catering for younger children.
Anyone wanting to learn more about the Kāpiti Running and Tri Club is invited to check out their website www.sporty.co.nz/kapitirunningandtriclub, their Facebook page or email the club president Tom Bland at tpbland@gmail.com.
