Tynedale Harriers and Athletic Club

Tynedale Harriers and Athletic Club is a friendly, supportive and sociable club that seeks to provide the opportunity and facilities for people of all ages and abilities to take part in and enjoy athletics.

Based at the track at Wentworth Leisure Centre in Hexham, we enjoy excellent facilities with access to their all weather track, changing rooms and equipment stores, as well as the roads, hills, woods and fells of the surrounding area

Our main club night is a Tuesday, with Juniors training from 6 to 7 and Adults from 7 to 8 (see news section for schedule). Specialist coaching is also available for specific events every Thursday from 6 to 7 for both juniors and seniors. High levels of coaching expertise are offered by a team of well qualified UK Athletics coaches and includes sprints, endurance running, jumps, hurdling and throwing.

The aims and abilities of members varies widely. Some choose to develop their skills and levels of fitness through training and participating in events within the club. Others compete at the highest level regionally, nationally and internationally. At whatever level of aspiration you wish to be involved in athletics, Tynedale Harriers offers excellent access and assistance.

Each year the club organises annual open 10 K and 10 Mile road races. We also host both Junior and Senior North Eastern Track and Field League Meetings and one of the North East Harrier League Cross Country races. There is also ample opportunity to compete for the club all year round through numerous road, cross country and fell races.

Tynedale Harriers also has a lively social side with handicap races, pub runs, an annual dinner, a women's weekend away and various other events.
