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 […]
It was great to see some of our Junior Harriers continuing the spirit of lockdown with more virtual competition. This time it was simple – run one mile as fast as you can. Preferably over a reasonbly flat course (not all downhill!), and you can have as many attempts as you like before submitting your
Whatever your age, whatever your ability there was something that most people could get involved with last weekend. There was a whole series of events held throughout the North East to coincide with Sunday’s Great North Run, and of course, you just couldn’t keep some of our juniors away from the North East’s biggest sporting
Looking back at last year’s Tartan Games photos was a stark reminder of how bad the English summer can be. As many of you will remember, it was a day for wrapping up warm as the rain gradually got heavier and athletes battled it out on a waterlogged track! In contrast, this year’s meeting took

Podium places went to Alex Boyer and
Last Sunday, hundreds of athletes from the North East and beyond, came together to celebrate the life of a remarkable young man whose story has touched the lives of many. The Kieran Maxwell Memorial is now in its second year, and this time the event had moved location to the Middlesbrough Sports Village. The Under
It’s been a successful summer for Darlington Harriers’ very own wheelchair racer, Ollie Porter. You may have seen him in action at Gateshead’s Tartan Games last month, where he won both the 100m and 200m open wheelchair events. Ollie set new PBs in both races, which was quite an achievement on such a cold, wet
The cool, damp weather was a welcome site to the thousands of athletes that took part in Darlington’s 10k last weekend. The popular event was in it’s 31st year and, as always, attracted a host of entrants of all abilities from across the north east. There were three races to choose from on the day,
