The Home Of Running In Hambleton
Not sure a running club is for you? Well that may be because you haven't run with Thirsk and Sowerby Harriers - the home of running in Hambleton!
We cater for all running abilities - from those new to running, those who run a 5k distance all the way up to a full marathon and beyond, both on or off road, offering support and encouragement to get you running and keep you running!
If you enjoy running and are looking for new routes or just some company on your run, why not give us a try. Maybe you are keen to run in an organised racing event, or perhaps you need support for the gruelling training for a marathon?
We also enter a local mid week summer race league (HDSRL), winter cross country league and hold a club championship which consists of a variety of running types, fell, cross country and road races.
There are two specific training nights on Mondays and Wednesdays. Monday sessions are indoors in the gym at Thirsk School. During Summer months, Wednesday sessions are at Thirsk Athletic Club and during the Winter you can find us in the Sports Hall at Thirsk School (with an outdoor group for the hard core!).
We also hold regular 2 mile time trials on our own special routes, with three handicap races a year, with prizes for all! And do not forget to join us after training on a Wednesday at the bar at the Thirsk Athletic Club!
In addition, you can usually find a number of social runs being arranged by members during the week, with all welcome.
So come along any Monday or Wednesday evening and enjoy a run with the Thirsk and Sowerby Harriers. New members are extremely welcome!
Please check out head coach Rob's blog or Facebook page for the latest training plan and club updates; please send in your race reports as it is good to hear what races the club has been represented at.
