Who are the Barnsley Harriers?

We are quite a diverse group of runners who enjoy running on roads, trails and fells over a wide variety of distances. We simply enjoy running - anywhere! With over 120 members – we’re one of the biggest senior membership clubs in Barnsley. We were established over twenty-five years ago and we have a broad mix of male and female, young and less young... and a full range of abilities. Some of our members are founder members, but we have new runners of all standards joining us all the time. We like to think we are friendly and sociable, welcoming new people not just to running but to our social side too. We try to generate a relaxed yet supportive running environment where everyone can train at their own chosen level. Nevertheless, we are competitive, taking part in events locally, nationally and internationally, ranging from 5-kilometre road races, through fell and trail running and up to and including marathons and ultra events. We wear our orange and black vests with great pride!
