Sunderland Harriers is an inclusive club that warmly welcomes individuals of all ages starting from nine years old, regardless of their gender or skill level. Our club has a rich history of athletic success, but we are not an elitist organization. Regardless of the type of athletics you wish to participate in, you will train with people who have a similar level of skill. We encourage everyone to strive for their personal best while supporting each other throughout the journey.

Becoming a member is simple. You can join us at the Sunderland Sports Complex athletics track on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (18:25 - 20:00) and Sunday mornings (10:25 - Noon). Our experienced coaches will lead distance groups on the pathways of Sunderland or local cross-country routes during the same time slots. As a member, you will have the opportunity to participate in various track and field, road, and cross-country events throughout the year.

Our younger members receive comprehensive training in all aspects of athletics, with an equal emphasis on attitude, commitment, perseverance, and respect for others in a FUNdamental environment.

In light of the current times, we all seek to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Joining Sunderland Harriers is an excellent way to meet new people, make new friends, and improve your fitness for life.
