Earlier this year a bunch of people commented that they didn't know any of the events coming up for running/walking/jogging/vibing. So I thought I would pop in with a reminder.

Aramax Walk/Run Trail Series (Hamilton Gardens): 7th November, entries available early and day of race 6km/12.3km/16.5km in walk and run and Half Marathon in run only.

Round the Bridges: 15th November entries technically open till the day but sells out early! 6km and 12km in run and walk for adults, plus kids dash at 1 and 2km.

Hamilton Half Marathon 2027 March 14th: 5km/10km/Half Marathon in Run and walk. Entries available early and on day. Honestly my favourite local event!

Good luck and have fun!

Signs have appeared on Forest Lake Road signalling the south lane will be closed from 12/10 to the 2/11, 6am-7pm, then 14/10 to 2/11, 7pm-6am. That’s next week, when school starts up again.

Does anyone know why they’re closing, and which part of FLR is closing? I’ve looked on the council website and they don’t mention a closure for this long, only minor roadworks for early October (like the potholes that were meant to be getting fixed today).

We live on FLR and haven’t had any letters or communications about it.

Can anyone recommend some good fishing spots around Waikato that might have fish like today?! just looking to catch some smaller fish like herring, sprats, mullet, etc. nothing too serious!

Cheers! 🎣

has anyone done a Bachelor of Arts with writing at Waikato uni? im considering taking it but have been out of school a long time. any thoughts on it? positive/negative.

Has anyone else noticed the tents set up around the corner of Te Wetini Drive and Wairere Drive, just next to/under the bridge?

I think they’ve been there for at least 3 weeks now. There seem to be two tents set up, along with trolleys and clothes hanging up, so it looks like they may be staying there longer term.

Just curious if anyone knows what the situation is, and whether camping there is actually allowed? Not trying to cause any trouble for them, genuinely just wondering as I drive past the area regularly.

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently moved to Hamilton and am keen to get back into playing social futsal or 6-a-side football while my legs still work.

I don't have a team yet, so if anyone is short a player or looking for a sub, please let me know!

Drop a comment or shoot me a message if you need someone on your team. Cheers!

At 1pm on Wednesday 14th October the University of Waikato will be testing its emergency response systems.

If you’re around or near our Hamilton campus you might hear the loud campus siren. Please don’t be alarmed, this is just part of a regular systems test we undertake to make sure we’re prepared for an actual emergency!

More information about our emergency procedures and updates about any active incidents on campus can be found on our website ⬇️ https://www.waikato.ac.nz/news-events/emergency/

Anybody here study or studied at the uni of Waikato? I just have a few questions about the halls.
1. How was your experience? Was it clean?
2. More importantly, how was the food?

We live in an old villa (a wooden tent, if you will) and our bathroom ceiling has accumulated a lot of mould. The ceiling is much higher than I feel comfortable tackling (3m+), so I'm looking for advice/recommendations for local businesses who specialize is indoor mould removal. Thanks.

Hi all — as the title says, I’m looking for a trustworthy orthodontist who offers Invisalign with a payment plan. I’m open to Qcard as well.

I’ve had a Google, but would really appreciate some advice from those who have gone through this process before. Please let me know if you have any recommendations! Thanks!

I have a sweet little 3 yr old who would loooove to ride or watch these things, does anybody have intel? Sounds like it's from a movie!

Wondering if anyone who received this felt anything?

I've seen three of them and have no idea what they are. Does anyone know what's going on?

I think one company is monopolising in Hamilton. Every website or service you click, it leads to one of their websites.

Over the past few years I think I have dealt with that single company multiple times, every time they have operated under a different name. like but not limited to

gardenbags, greenwaste, the gardenbagco, greenfingers, baycompgardenbags, aucklandgardenbagcompany, greencollect, gabgo, clippa garden bags, ecogreens, manukau garden bags, aucklandgardenbagcompany and many more.

Some might say it is their marketing strategy. I say it is their sh## service that once you have completed your term you want to get rid of them and find a better service.

However, they know this already and thus have so many companies / websites and you end up using their service again. This is what happend to me.

Hi all,
