Despite the general anti-jogging publicity you read about, Recreation Centre staff approve of jogging as a recreation. But, before you commence ensure that:
a)you know how far and how fast You should be going (Centre staff will help).
b)that you know a few simple warm-up stretching exercises to avoid injury (Centre staff will help.)
c)that your shoes are appropriate (Centre staff will help.)
d)that you realise that jogging is running at an easy, relaxed pace for a period which doesn't over-extend you.

Having realised all this, then try our beginner's jogging routes: the first one appears below.

The Kelburn Park Trot

Grassy and scenic, with some little-trodden-by-ways around the campus.

Down the steps from the Recreation Centre to Wai-te-Ata Road; Left to the top of Mount Street; across Salamanca Road; left up Salamanca Road to the tennis courts; turn right between the croquet club house and squash courts, trot past the croquet lawn to Kelburn Park.

Jog once round the outside of the grass (n.b. note the view from the fountain); run back past the croquet lawn; cross Directly (but carefully) over Salamanca Road to the path climbing diagonally to the Students Association Building.

At the main path, turn right and immediately left into the cemetery; branch right in the cemetery to Wai-te-Ata Road; return via Wai-Te-Ata Road and the Recreation Centre steps.

Shower and take a cup of coffee in the Restoration Cafe.
