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
We had some of our senior runners at the first LRC Tees Trailistic held by former Darlington Harrier Georgie Rutherford an event suitable for all abilities. The 9 mile circular course takes runners along sections of the Teesdale Way and is all off road; it follows rolling terrain and has a few gentle inclines and descents with the event starting and finishing at the TCR Hub in Barnard Castle.
Well done to all our runners who supported the event, full results can be found here
At the flat and fast Redcar 5mile race we had 8 of our seniors in action. Paul Allan was first of the group home in 30:30 while ‘Elite’ Anderson was first of the ladies across the line.

We had two of our runners at the Leeds 10km at the weekend. The Leeds 10K was Jane Tomlinson’s vision having raised £1.8 million for charity while she was battling terminal cancer, in 2006 Jane knew her time left to fundraise was limited. As a result, she decided to set up the Leeds 10K to continue the fundraising vehicle for charities that she had started. It was Kim Stephenson who was first over the line in 44.24 with Graham Garvey crossing the line in 46:50. Well done both of you.
