Stride Performance

01/11/2026

Hi again! Stride will be closed Monday and Tuesday for a funeral. We will absolutely be back on board Wednesday onwards, and this should be the last impromptu closure for some time. Fingers crossed. Feel free to shop at Trek Trail & Fish in Kamo in the meantime, or if you need something from Stride, let Des know, he may be persuaded to transfer any items you are after to the Kamo store overnight, ready for you the following day. Or browse our catalogue / shop online at strideperformance.co.nz. I will endeavour to upload the rest of 2XU's exciting trail apparel range remotely. All the best for your training, playing, exploring and racing.

Stride Performance is in Northland, New Zealand. We sell gear, shoes and clothing for running, hiking and fishing nationwide. We are "the candy store for adventurers and athletes". Get the gear, get the mindset, get going!

Meet the HOKA Rocket X Trail. Built for when the trail opens up and you want to let rip. 🏃

An H-shaped carbon-fibre plate pairs with responsive A-TPU superfoam for a propulsive ride, while a lightweight, breathable upper keeps your foot secure.

Think fast gravel roads and smooth, flowing dirt trails. This one’s made for runnable terrain.

Got a route in mind? Tell us where you’d take them for their first run.

Hydration shouldn’t interrupt a good walk.

The HydraPak PackFlask Kit keeps 500ml within easy reach on your pack harness, so you spend less time digging for a bottle and more time enjoying the trail.

A high-flow, self-sealing nozzle makes drinking on the move simple, while the flip-open dust cover keeps the nozzle protected. When it’s empty, flatten it, roll it and tuck it away.

And the clever part? The stretch-mesh pouch doubles as storage for your phone, snacks or map when you’re not carrying the flask.

For fast-and-light day hikes and longer adventures, it’s a small upgrade that just makes sense.

Have you tried Maurten Gel Mix 480 yet?

Somewhere between a gel and a drink mix, it offers a new way to fuel your longer sessions. Thicker than a drink mix and looser than a gel, each sachet delivers 120g of carbohydrates when mixed with 200ml of water.

Mix it, flask it, fuel your next big effort. Available now at Stride Performance. Link in the comments below.

Sunny days are better when you’re ready for them ☀️

Hey everyone, I'm afraid I'm going to have to close Stride for a couple of days (Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th) as I need to head to Invercargill to check on my dad, and essentially to say my goodbyes. You can still of course shop at Trek Trail & Fish in Kamo, or order online at strideperformance.co.nz. We will be back to normal hours Wednesday onwards. Our summer stock has started arriving, including new shoes, new apparel and new hydration vests. See you then. Manda at Stride.
