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
On Saturday we had some of our junior section in action at the North Eastern Harrier Cross Country League at Aykley Heads, Durham. These events are split into a slow pack (who are given a head start) with the fast pack held back to chase them down. In some events there’s a medium pack to split these races down even further. Acer Tarn finished 5th in the U11’s race, Ollie Curran finished 8th (2 slower runners ahead of him) and Lucas Rogers 21st (8 slow runners ahead of him) in the U13’s race. Sasha Patterson finished 10th in the U13 girls race, again with 5 slower runners crossing ahead of her while Rowan Steel finished 11th (4 slow runners in front) with Finn Pentland-Rice and Willhouby Cleough 33rd and 36th respectively in the boys U15 race.
Sisters Matilda and Charlotte finished 5th and 6th respectively in the U15’s race with the first 2 slow runners crossing the line while Freddie Hall was 8th in the U17’s boys race with only 3 faster runners ahead of him. Zara Jones was our highest U17 runner in the girls race in 8th, only 1 fast runner and 1 medium pack runner finishing ahead with Savannah Tarn 36th in a big field. Full results can be found here
Results for the latest NYSD Cross Country event at Summerhill have yet to be released but here’s a few action photos from some of our athletes.
