Achilles Chapters
We meet regularly in locations across Aotearoa to put our athletes and their guides through their paces. Everyone is welcome for a 1 hour run, walk, wheel or hop before we stop for a coffee and chat. Contact details for Achilles Chapters in Auckland, Christchurch, Invercargill, Manawatū, Rotorua, Taupō, Tauranga, Waikato, Wellington and Whangārei are below. Training locations change frequently. You’ll find the latest details on the Chapter Facebook pages.
