Join Us

Preston Harriers caters for athletes who wish to train or compete on the Roads, Fell, Cross Country or Track & Field.

Other athletes combine these disciplines and include triathlon or trail running. Whatever you wish to do, run on roads or through mud, jump or throw, from under 11 to over 70, international athlete to fun runner, there is a place for you at Preston Harriers.

We are a friendly, fun club with training sessions to suit everyone. For adult members you do not need to race or compete. We have members who run simply for the enjoyment. So come and join us, whatever your level of fitness.

Senior Membership
For all seniors interested in road, fell or cross country running, simply complete a membership application.

Junior Membership
Membership for Track & Field is open to everyone from age 8 years. Due to the popularity inspired by the recent Olympics there may be a waiting list for some junior age groups. Junior members over age 11 are expected to compete at track & field or cross country at least 8 times per year. Before completing a membership application, please contact the Coaching Coordinator for further information.

There is always a place for non-athletes at Preston Harriers. We are an inclusive club and always welcome any parents who may wish to become involved in club activities.
We would welcome membership from any qualified or aspiring coaches.
