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
The week also saw the 3rd event of the DTS trail series, an event where results are so small to read even small insects have to wear large spectacles to see who finished where. Colin Taylor made an appearance at this event finishing 2nd overall while Kim Stephenson also finished 2nd in the ladies race. New member Natalie Hiles also competed on the night finishing 28th! Full results can be found on the DTS Facebook page…well done to all of our runners (top 28 positions shown here).
Steve Wilkinson and Nicky Young were back at one of their favourite events this weekend, the Harrogate 10km, a race which follows an undulating route that is approximately 70% tarmac road, with the rest on good footpaths. Steve finished his race in 43:23 and 10th in his V50 category while Nicky finished 5th in hers in 53:37. Well done both of you.
