Middleton Harriers Athletic Club
- Middleton Harriers is a small, friendly running club
based at Hopwood Hall in Middleton, Manchester.
Road running involves a large number of the club's
membership. It also has a wide range of members, both in terms of age and ability.
All age groups and abilities are welcome at the
club. Runners usually form into groups of varying ability so don't be put
off. Running is for everyone!
We also have a varied social calendar which involves
the occasional tipple.
Training Nights
- Monday Night Autumn/Winter Sessions
The nights are drawing in rapidly now and for the following 3 Mondays,
training will be based at Hopwood College.
TRACK SESSIONS- Monday night coaching at the track will recommence on
the 28th January. Sessions will be held as
last year at Springhill Track, Kingsway, Rochdale. Although the track
is booked from 7.30 pm, it is usually available from 7.15 pm, so groups or
individuals wishing to arrive early can do so. The cost has increased
this year to £2 per person [we made a substantial loss last year].
From later this year, the new link road with the M62 from Junction 21 will
be open, this meets Kingsway adjacent to the track, reducing travel time
from Middleton by using the M62.
We really would like you to support this venture again and this will be the
official venue for Monday night training with the Club. Please come
along and enjoy well lit and safe facilities. (Derek Bury)
Coaching: our qualified coaches Don Kerley and Phil Moore plus other
volunteered assistance will be in attendance and the sessions will be split
into groups in accordance with your individual fitness and personal preference,
with the aim of improving your personal running technique, speed, strength and
endurance.
Monday Night Spring Training Sessions
Now that spring is here and the lighter nights are
rapidly approaching, the track sessions at Springhill will finish
on Monday night, 7th April, it is intended that these will begin again
in October. Our thanks go to Derek acting as organiser and cashier and
the two intrepid coaches Phil Moore and Don Kerley for their enthusiasm and
expertise.
Heaton Park Monday Night Training
Following on from the track nights, training sessions in
all shapes and sizes will spring into action, within the park boundaries.
The start is Monday 14th April and on the subsequent Monday nights.
The meeting point is the Sheepfoot Lane car park at 7.00 to 7.15 pm.
Wednesday Night Training
