The club was founded in 1982 by British international decathlete Roy Snow. The club has always catered for all levels of runner from absolute beginner through to regional & international. We run on-road, off-road, track, cross-country, trail, sprints to long distance, duathlon, triathlon and anything else that takes our fancy (including overseas races and fell-runs, and other non-traditional events, such as "It's A Knockout!" ). We value the enjoyment, as well as the achievement, of healthy running.

The Club today has about 120 members with thriving veterans, ladies & junior sections

We meet every Tuesday at 7:45pm at the Harwich & DovercourtRugby Club. These evenings are primarily training nights taken by our qualified coach Peter Clark

Every year the club runs a series of 5k handicap races known (unsurprisingly!) as the Harwich 5k series. This event is open to anyone and can be won by beginners.

Some of the benefits you will receive from being a member...

From April 2013 all members will be affiliated to ARC so can enter any ARC race as an affiliated runner

Reduced race entry cost
Being a member of an affiliated running club will usually mean that you pay £2 per race less than runners unattached to a running club.  That means you only have to enter 10 races a year & membership to Harwich Runners will have paid for itself!

New members have the chance of winning a dedicated award, Best New Member

Harwich Runners are affiliated to British Triathlon, so members can obtain their race licence at a reduced rate

Discount at sports shops
On production of your membership card you can usually claim around 10% discount sometimes more.
