About Hallamshire Harriers Sheffield

Hallamshire Harriers was formed in Sheffield in 1896. Cross-country helped establish the club's early reputation, and its red vest with a white H has been worn by national champions and Olympic medallists.

Training is spread across several venues rather than one clubhouse. The club lists road and cross-country sessions at Hillsborough Park, track groups at Woodbourn Road and junior and technical-event sessions at the English Institute of Sport. There are also sessions in the Peak District. Check the location for the particular group before travelling.
