Several of our Juniors made the journey to battle it our against their North East counterparts in another exciting round of track and field action. Here’s a quick round up of how things went…. 100m Hurdles Charlotte Rutter […]
Travelling up to Jarrow to compete after a long day at school/college shows real dedication, but that’s exactly what nine of our junior athletes did last week for the second North East Grand Prix meet. Here’s how their evening went…. 200m Under 15’s, Tori Buckley and Ashton Harrison kicked things off with the 200m. It
It’s been a long wait, but finally, the North East Youth Development League returned last weekend, as Middlesbrough Sports Village opened its doors to hundreds of young athletes from the region. The last NEYDL Match was pre-Covid way back in July 2019, so it was fantastic to see our DHAC juniors teaming up with Allerton
This week across two Track & Field meetings at Jarrow we had a selection of our Masters athletes out in force and in some cases, out in record breaking fashion. Club President Ian Barnes ran in the 3000m at The NEGP fixture on Wednesday 19th May – backing up his performance in the Mile last
Middlesbrough Sports Village hosted the second NECAA Open Meeting of the season, attracting athletes from all over the region. As expected, the blue and white vests of DHAC where out in force, including an impressive contingent from our junior section. As usual with the open meetings, events were of mixed age groups/gender, with heats being
No it’s not the latest Enid Blyton best seller, it was more a tale of four Harriers on Saturday heading to Thornaby to take part in the North East Project 5km road race, a 6 x 800m event (+200m) around the industrial estate. This uncertified race was certainly good for training and the group of
Sunday 16th May saw two Harriers, Nicky Young and Steve Wilkinson, head down the A1 to have a go at the usually popular Melmerby 10km run near Ripon, an undulating race around the village and countryside lanes. The race this year was a virtual event held over the whole of May, so no results available
Several of our Junior Harriers headed North to Monkton Stadium last week, for the first meeting of this season’s North East Grand Prix series. As usual it was an evening fixture, with each event taking place with a mixture of age groups and gender. Here’s how things went…. 1500m Battling his way round against the
There’s been very little competitive athletics held at Shildon’s ‘Stadium 2000’ over the last few years. For those who remember, the first event of the track and field calendar was always The Anne-Marie Readshaw Memorial Open held at Shildon, but the last one was way back in 2016. It was usually a cold and wet

DHAC hosted another hugely successful “Pitstop” event last week, when athletes from all over the region took over a sunny Croft Circuit for the evening. There were two events to choose from for our junior section; for the younger ones, a 2k fun run, and for our older athletes a 5k run against the seniors!
Wednesday evening saw the rescheduled Pitstop events take place at the fantastic croft racing circuit. After many months of frustration we finally got this one over the line and the evening proved to be successful thanks to many club volunteers and athletes who came along to support the event. After some military drilled processing at
Under 13, Lottie Graves, was the only Darlington Harrier who ventured north to the NECAA Open meeting at Morpeth last weekend. Tori Buckley was due to join her but had to pull out because of a hip injury (fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, Buckers!) So it was up to Lottie to do the biz
It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen any competitive athletics held at DHAC’s home track at Eastbourne Sports Complex. Fitting then, that the first event after this baron spell should be in memory of one of our own; a young man who inspired so many during his battle against cancer. Athletes from all over
We had Hilary and Lizzie attending The Swainby Sweep Trail Race at the weekend, with some amazing views to boot by the looks of it. Both Lizzie and Hilary finished the course together in just over 3 hours, for a course measure around 13.4 miles. Well done ladies, looks awesome. Hilary passed along the following
Sunday saw the rescheduled Endeavour 5km races, a series of 5 races around the cycle loop (approx 1km) at Middlesborough sports village with runners placed in heats based on expected finishing times. Due to Covid19, events were split even further by having runners run in groups of four, with up to 10 seconds between start
We had a couple of representatives at the Lambton X-Trail 10K today, with Amanda Trees and Hamish Laishley flying the flag In Amanda’s words…. This 10k race took place on the private Lambton Estate, near Chester-le-Street, brilliantly organised and marshalled with full social distancing by Wild Deer Events. The course was undulating and the route
Thirty eight teams took part in this years North East XC Masters race, a race which took place at Thornley Hall Farm, Peterlee. The race covers a 3km route across cross country terrain and this year due to the dry conditions the ground was very hard underfoot with lots of ‘ankle breaking’ divets around the
It seems like forever since our Junior Harriers took part in any real outdoor competition, so as restrictions eased last weekend it was fantastic to see some of them in action once again Redcar Rugby Club hosted a cross country competition open to Athletic Clubs within the Tees Valley area. However, in order to comply
