At Halifax Harriers we welcome anyone who wants to improve their performance, whatever their athletic event, whatever their background, abilities or disabilities. Whether it's an 8 year old learning the fundamentals of movement or the 70 year old defying the years or the middle aged athlete returning to the sport when work and family commitments finally allow. We're happy to see them at Spring Hall and there's a team of dedicated Track and Field coaches and Road Running Group Leaders for all abilities ready to help them to improve. Our members not only receive excellent coaching, but we provide subsidised travel to some races for both junior and senior members.
You are welcome to train with the Harriers for four weeks before joining the club. There is a fee of £2.00 per training session until you join the club after which training sessions are free as part of membership. You will find information about when and where we train on our TRAINING PAGE. training page.
Fill out a membership form which can be downloaded below or pick up a copy in the Clubhouse. You can pay by cash, card machine, or cheques made out to Halifax Harriers. Come along to a training session 15 minutes before the start time to register and find out all the details.
Please note that when you join, if you indicate that you wish to be a Non-Competitive Athlete we will register you with England Athletics but will not pay the EA fees which entitles you to a discount when entering races. If you ever decide that you want to start entering races, let the Membership Secretary know and they will amend your EA status to Competitive Athlete.
