Description:
Heaton Harriers is one of the oldest running clubs in the North East. Formed in 1890, we have an illustrious past and a sound foundation for the future. We are a fairly large and very friendly club, and cater for members of all levels of fitness, ability and ambition. We welcome those looking to compete at a high level and those looking for fun and companionship in their bid for getting, and staying, fit.
Heaton Harriers Junior section was started in June 2008 to provide young people from the age of 8 to 16 with the opportunity to receive coaching and competition in Sportshall Athletics, Track and Field, Road Running and Cross-Country.
UK Athletics qualified coaches who have been screened for their suitability for working with young people, deliver all coaching. The club adheres to the UK Athletics Welfare Policy including Child Protection. The club is in the process of applying for Clubmark status.
At present the club runs one training session per week during the school term but it is intended to introduce additional sessions, with a specific focus, both indoors and outside at local track and field venues.
Juniors are encouraged to enter local road races, appropriate Track and Field events and to compete for Heaton in the North East Harrier cross-country league.
