Looking for a Newcastle Running Club?
We welcome runners wishing to build their confidence and ability. We have three adult groups to cater for all abilities which are friendly and inclusive. You can join for a social run with likeminded runners, for the company, security and build new friendships, run to keep fit, train to enter events, or just to lose a few pounds. The choice is yours…!
Members say that joining Elswick Harriers which has dedicated groups means they run more often and achieve more than they could have on their own.
Training activities are sometimes divided into smaller groups covering different distances and paced to suit individual capabilities. Coached sessions are also provided and delivered by the club’s Run Leaders and Coaches.
Our superb location gives ample opportunity to train around well-known public areas, such as the beautiful Tyne Riverside Country Park areas throughout the year.
We meet at Newburn Activity Centre on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 pm for a pre-arranged 7.15pm to 7.30pm start. Our home at the Centre provides ample free car parking, changing, showers and lockers.
During the winter months, street lighting in the locality is good to sparse, so during low light weather conditions hi-viz clothing is compulsory.
You can keep up with what’s going on by visiting our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, we also have a YouTube channel.
Elswick Harriers has a lot to offer any runner no matter what their current ability or ambitions. The club has members who just run for fun, run for health, and those who compete at local, regional, and national levels.
With a history and pedigree that dates back to 1889, you won’t find a better Newcastle running club to join.
