We are indeed fortunate at Darlington Harriers, to have such a multi-talented bunch of juniors. Many of them can turn their hand to several disciplines under the athletics umbrella, which makes things very handy when it comes down to combined events. This was definitely the case last weekend when we had athletes competing at the

Today saw the return of the Darlington 10km race after a two year gap due to the Covid situation making last years event a virtual one. This event clashed with the last senior Track & Field event with promotion and possible championship on the line so for once numbers weren’t as high as usual but
As the first NEYDL meeting at Whitley Bay was cancelled, this third meeting at Morpeth was to be the final league meeting in this series. It took place on a hot, sunny Saturday 17th of July which, of course, coincided with the first weekend of the school holidays for many, so numbers were depleted slightly
This season seems to be flying by! It doesn’t seem that long since things were starting off again after months of lockdown, but already we’ve had the 4th meeting of the NEGP. Once again, Monkton Stadium, Jarrow, played host as athletes from all across the region gathered for an evening of tough competition. Our Junior
It was a return to familiar surroundings on Sunday as the Darlington/Allerton team were back at Middlesbrough Sports Village for another NEYDL meeting. After a solid team performance at the first meet last month, the team were out to match or even improve on the already impressive 3rd place from Meeting 1. It was another
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

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
Saturday 29th August saw the return to competition athletics to Eastbourne Sports Complex for the first time since 2018 with our very own “Back To Track” event.

Darlington Harriers certainly put on a show of strength recently at the town’s annual road race. It was a real club effort across all age groups as the seniors put in some terrific performances in the 10k, and our juniors dominated the 3k race producing some tremendous results.
