Throughout the year we provide every child with a local race programme giving details of Fell, Cross-Country, Terrain, Track & Field Athletics and Sportshall Athletics events they can compete in. Competition is important so we encourage parents to support their children's interest by attending some of these events.

of Sportshall Athletics. However there is also a 'transition' stage where
they can start to train alongside senior Harriers in some sessions.
