Gateshead Harriers were founded in 1904 as Gateshead St. Mary's Church Running Club. Originally for men only, ladies joined in 1951. The club moved to it's present site in 1956. Today we cater for all athletes, from 8yrs+ to veterans in all disciplines through winter and summer. We train at least two evenings a week and compete in road races, cross-country, track & field and marathons.

New members are always welcome and you can train at any level of fitness, from sedate jogs to competition level. Our excellent facilities include comprehensive weights room, male and female changing rooms with showers and a large hall which is also available for training purposes twice a week during the winter months.

Training sessions:

Training is at Gateshead International Stadium on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm till 8:00pm (unless otherwise arranged with your coach).

We hope you will enjoy your athletics with us and have many years of successful competition. We will endeavour to help your progress and development in your chosen event(s) with the help of qualified club coaches.
