Our club was formed in 1891, but how did the club become Darlington Harriers? Who were the people that founded the club? Read about some of the great athletes that have graced our club, Olympians George Butterfield, Robert Hawkey and Joy Grieveson. Read about Fred Wyers who competed in the 1958 Commonwealth Games and other notable athletes such as Bob Stockdale, William Wylie, Ian Barnes, Paul Harker, Lewis Moses, Kieran Maxwell who have graced our club over the years and let’s not forget all the current members. The club is steeped in the town’s history from basic beginnings to current day and these pages will be updated daily as I trawl through the British Newspaper Archives.
Get Involved
We want to see the club colours at all of our events, especially team events such as relays, National, Northern or North-Eastern where we can get together as a group, support each other and make these events a social occasion. So let me introduce you to our Senior Club Captains.
In addition to athletes, we are always looking for volunteers to support club and local events so please reach out to Sarah Johnson as your first point of contact if you can support in any way shape or form. Thank you! #UTH
Race Result
At the weekends NYSD Cross Country event at Whitby we had some really great individual and team performances. Acer Tarn took the win in the U11 boys, Elsie Smith runners up in the equivalent girls race while Archie Appleton was the highest placed boy in the U13 race finishing 4th, the team finishing 2nd on the day. Ella Court and Jessie Horton-Thomas were 5th and 6th in the U13 girls race while Naomi Hall led the way for our senior ladies finishing 12th. Disappointingly the club didn’t have enough ladies to count to gain any team points. The very impressive Michael Harcourt was first senior man home in 3rd place , marginally missing out on 2nd by only 2 seconds while the ever present John Clifford was 1st V50 and 5th overall. The mens team finished a comfortable 1st place with some excellent performances supporting Michael and John’s efforts. Ian Barnes was our only V80m athlete in action…in fact he was the only one! kudos Mr Barnes.
