Complete Beginners Course

This is our first week — it isn’t too late to join us.

Sessions will start at 6:15pm in the car park of Stafford Hockey and Cricket club. The car entrance is via Riverway.

We hold two sessions a week, we start slowly but build up each week. You are encouraged to do both sessions but we all have busy lives so if you can only make Tuesday or Thursday please still come and give it ago.

It is designed to take people who have never run or have not run for a long time and lasts for 14 weeks.

The first four weeks are free, after which we ask you to become a club member. No need to join yet. Put your name down and come along.

Handicap Race NEW LOCATION – Stafford Common

Handicap Race – Stafford Common

Due to the road works on Radford Bank, we are moving the handicap. So a new location and a new route.

Tuesday 10th September meet 6:00pm for a 6:20pm start

 Meet by the gate (farm) on Common Road.

Four times a year we hold the Harriers Handicap Race. Each race is open to all adult members and advanced juniors.

The winner is the first to complete a lap of the course. To make it fair, the faster runners are delayed from starting. It is this handicap that makes the run interesting and gives everyone an equal chance of winning. To keep people from “underestimating” their speed people can’t win the race on their first attempt. Recent race results can also be used as evidence of current performance.!

To race …

NSCCL 2024 — Update

Due to the last minute change by the NSCCL we don’t have a discount code this year.

Many thanks for your patience while we set up the new entry portal for this season’s competition.
The entry page is now live at the following address:
Note that if runners wish to sign up for the whole series, they should click to enter the first round, then during the checkout process they will be asked whether they also want to sign up to the other events in the series. If all boxes are ticked they will receive the discount for entering the whole series.
In the past, some clubs have had discount codes which allow their runners to enter for free (or at a discounted rate), with the outstanding amount then being invoiced to their club. If anyone would like a similar arrangement for this year, please email me back and I will provide a code for you.
Those runners who have already entered via AV Timing do not need to pay again – please await further instructions of what they should do to transfer their entries.
Once again many thanks for your cooperation with this and I look forward to seeing you all on the start line on the 28th.
Best Regards
Dave Nimmo
