Papamoa Running Buddies

On May 8th 2015 something fabulous happened on Facebook...

Struggling to find other people to run with in Papamoa, Heather decided it was time to put a call out to the local running community. Bored of running on her own, her aim was to find some running buddies to help her train for her next event. And so she created a group on Facebook, called Papamoa Running Buddies. 

Papamoa Running Buddies started with a handful of people and now, nearly 4 years later, has over 400 members. The aim of the club was, and still is, to bring people together through running. Our club has continued to grow not only in numbers, but also in support for each other.

Runners come in all shapes and sizes with various goals and different reasons for running. PRB has an open policy and encourages members to share their runs so that other buddies can join them.


If you want to go fast, go alone
If you want to go far, go together. (African proverb.)
