Important Information for the Parents/Guardians of Juniors
Parents/carers of Juniors in School Year 7 or below should contact the Membership Secretary before completing a membership form.
If your son/daughter has a medical condition that Durham City Harriers needs to know about, you must talk to the relevant coach on your son/daughter’s first visit informing them of the necessary information. You also need to put the same information on the ‘Medical Condition of Young Athletes’ form when you fill out the membership forms. If they change groups please inform the new coach of the medical condition. Although the new coach will receive the medical form, we ask you to always talk to them in person as there may be a time delay before the medical form reaches him/her.
Changing Clubs
If you wish to join Durham as your first claim club you should use the online process at England Athletics.
