As a member of the Durham Association of Boys and Girls Clubs (DABGC), Sunderland Harriers have the rare opportunity of Club competition for younger athletes.

We have been invited to enter the DABGC County Championships giving the Club a chance to win Age Group trophies and athletes the chance to win individual medals and the possibility of representing County Durham in the National Association of Boys and Girls Clubs (NABGC) National Championships.

This year's Championships are to be held at Shildon Running and Athletics Club on Sunday 23rd June 2024 with registration 11:00-11:30.

We have been invited to enter a team made up of U11,U13,U15,U17, and U20 squads. In addition to a 4x100m relay in each age group and gender the events covered are:-
U11 - 75m, 200m, 800m, HJ, LJ, and SP.
U13 - 100m, 200m, 800m, 1500m, HJ, LJ, and SP.
U15 - 100m, 200m, 300m(boys only), 800m, 1500m, HJ, LJ, SP, DT, and JT.
U17 - 100m, 200m, 300m(women only), 400m(men only), 800m, 1500m, HJ, LJ, TJ(men only), SP, DT, and JT.
U20 - 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m(men only), HJ, LJ, TJ(men only), SP, DT, and JT.

Clubs are entitled to enter two competitors in each individual event, of which there are 88 should you wish to count. However each U11 competitor may enter two events plus the relay; U13s, U15s, and U17s three plus relay, and U20s four plus relay.

Points mean prizes, so we are looking for as many athletes as possible who wish to represent Sunderland Harriers, hopefully in as many events as possible. Additionally any parents, guardians, and anyone else who can officiate either Qualified or Unqualified are invited to offer their time.

Unfortunately the invitation arrived at short notice so please contact Club coaches or officials and ultimately Vicky Haswell as quickly as possible and certainly by Thursday 20rd June 2024.
