'This is not about the running, it's about the amazing community full of love and support and the wonderful people who belong to the Extra Mile Runners Team. From the moment I turned up to that very first session of Get up to Five I have always felt encouraged, supported and most of all never judged! â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹Much aroha'

Elspeth Painter

'I am so happy that I found a group that is supportive and so much fun. I love this programme, it is well paced and achievable for anyone. I have learnt that if I believe it, I can do it. I was worried that I would be too old and would get injured, but the programme is well designed to build up your strength gradually.'​

Michelle Hunter

'I really enjoyed the programme and found everyone very encouraging. As the programme progressed and we were running more and walking less it was a great feeling to realise I could actually run 5kms.

It was flattering to have the new Fivers telling me they admire what I am doing - that had never happened to me before.'
