Them ‘Harriers are scary’
Those who know me understand that I do on occasions, sometimes, now and again, approach runners who are training by themselves to inform them about the benefits of joining the Harriers. Recently though a theme seems to have developed where we are perceived being, as a couple of ladies put it ‘scary’.

Now I know we have a few people who are advised not to run the streets in the dark or around Halloween night, but scary, never! On further questioning it seems the name Harriers can be to some, daunting and implies we are all superhuman beings who can run faster and longer than anyone else. This is partly true, we do have some excellent athletes of all ages, but we cater for runners from 9 years old and upwards regardless of ability. We are approachable, friendly, definitely not scary and will offer encouragement, advice, guidance and structured training that will develop your potential and enjoyment of running.

<b>NOBODY</b> is left to run alone, we have groups for everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes, come along and give it a go, Silksworth Ski Slope Changing Rooms, Tuesday and Thursday evenings 6:30/6:45pm. There is no pressure to join the Harriers, try it first and see what you think, and then if its for you, become a ‘scary harrier’ and run in the famous Royal Blue vest.
