Sport - Running _ Hamworthy Harriers

The running club was established in 1986 and became fully affiliated to England Athletics (EA) in 1987. Our philosophy has been to balance the sport of running with fun and an active social side.

 

Being affiliated to England Athletics allows for reduced entry fees to races, covered by EA insurance and the chance to participate in the London Marathon by using our allocated Club Entry.
