We cater for the entire range of athletics. We have members interested in all track and field events including multi-events, road running up to full marathons, cross country and more.
Membership is open to everyone aged 8 years and over. The club encourages membership applications from all groups within the Community.
Our members cover a wide range of abilities: Some are at the sharp end of races, competing and winning at an international level, while others train just for fun or simply to keep fit. Structured training is offered for those who want it, and company is offered to all - nobody trains on their own.
Not only do we cater for younger generation athletes at the club, but we also have many sportsmen and women competing in veteran events at many levels. Veterans at the club make use of the facilities offered not only by the university sports centre, but also enjoy the scenic local area, allowing them to train in a varied and interesting environment!

Harriers on a high
Durham City Harriers are celebrating after receiving the certificate which confirms their successful renewal of the Clubmark award. Clubmark is a national cross-sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections, promoted by Sport England. Having Clubmark demonstrates to parents and carers that Durham City Harriers provides a high quality, safe and welcoming environment for its young athletes. It says that the club encourages young people to take up the sport of athletics, develops their talents and gives them the option to maintain a life-long participation in the sport. All accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards. Andy Billett, Club Chair said “I am delighted that England Athletics and Sport England have recognised the high quality sporting environment that Durham City Harriers offers. Young athletes in the club can train and compete in a safe environment, in order to develop their athletic talents while having fun.”
