Training with Wallsend Harriers
Athletes of all abilities and standards are welcome. Many of our current members started as tentative runners, new to the sport, perhaps seeking additional preparation for the Great North Run, London Marathon or Blaydon Race, and unsure of whether or not they would ‘fit in’ to a traditional athletics club.
It is one of the club commitments that new members will be accompanied at all times on club nights, and prospective members are urged not be dissuaded from applying for membership by any preconceptions about fast-paced runs or ultra-distance efforts!
Wallsend Harriers train on a Tuesday and Thursday evening from our Headquarters at Hadrian Leisure Centre, St Peters Road, Wallsend, NE28 7LQ.

Time: 6.00pm leaving at 6.30pm

Time: 6.15pm for 6.30pm start

Training on Tuesday and Thursday is structured around 5 groups and a Young Athletes group - these groups ensure we cater for all athletes and abilities:
