Welcome to the Essington Harriers Running Club.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out on your running journey Essington Harriers can offer you the support you need in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We cater for every level of runner, from beginners to ultra distances, and on different terrains. Whether you’re running for company, fitness or looking to race for a club, you’ll be welcome at Essington Harriers Running Club.
Thinking of joining us?
I am new to running or returning to running.
We run a ‘Couch To Awesomeness’ course that will take you from 0k – 5km running non-stop, culminating with a club run at Parkrun.
You will progress in a friendly and supportive atmosphere with other C2A runners, and in 10 weeks we will take you from 0km – 5km. We finish the course with a run at Chasewater Parkrun.
Runners who complete the Couch To Awesomeness course can then join as full club members by paying and upgrade fee for the first year.
If you’ve run before but lost your mojo, we can help you find your love of running again.
If you’re still able to run a 5km distance on your own in a reasonable time (less than 45 min) then you can try running with our main group, we recommend signing up for a Trial Run first to see how you get on.
If you’re not quite up to that yet, consider joining our next C2A group.
We will support you back into running and help you get your mojo back on track. We run three distanced based groups on Monday and Wednesday night runs, and you’re welcome to join any of them.
We try to group similar paced runners together, but pace is not an issue as all our groups perform loopback running to maintain the group as a single unit while out. No runner is ever left on their own.
I can already run 5km on my own, none stop, in a reasonable time.
If you’re already able to run at least 5km on your own, you can join our main club groups, either sign up for a Trial Run with us free of charge, or fill in the membership form and become a full club member straight away.
I’m already a member of another England Athletics running club.
Already have an England Athletics membership? You can add Essington Harriers as your second claim club (or move us to your primary club) and continue your EA membership through us.
Please note that some club offers do not apply to our second claim members.
