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 or card machine in the school cafe. Come along to a training session 15 minutes before the start time to register and find out all the details.
All athletes will be registered with England Athletics. Halifax Harriers will pay the EA fees for all fully paid up First Claim Members which then may entitle you to a discount when entering races and other EA benefits.
