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 Sunday 3 March, in near-perfect conditions, the 2024 Tokyo Marathon – the first Abbott World Marathon Major of the calendar year – illuminated the streets of Japan’s capital city. Jade Hutchinson was one of more than 37,000 runners who set off on their 26.2-mile journey in the mass participation event, while the elite races generated a fair few surprises. Not one but two new course records were set, with some pre-race favourites falling short of the mark. Jade ran this for the experience and thoroughly enjoyed the race finishing in an excellent 3.34.31. Amazing Jade, well done!


We had a strong turnout at the weekends Middlesboro flat and fast half marathon, first event. Starting in Centre Square, outside the Town Hall and MIMA gallery, the road closed course heads out through Albert Park, passing the home of the North East’s/Yorkshire’s third biggest team Middlesbrough FC at Riverside Stadium, before looping around the docks to finish back in Centre Square. We had some terrific performances on the day with a sprinkle of personal bests too! Well done to all our runners who competed.
