About Harwich Runners
Harwich Runners was founded in 1982 by British international decathlete Roy Snow to encourage local people to become more active. Based in Harwich and Dovercourt, Essex, England, the club continues to bring together beginners, returning runners and experienced competitors rather than concentrating on one performance level.
Tuesday club night normally starts at Harwich and Dovercourt Rugby Club on Low Road. A rota of experienced coaches offers different session options, including warm-ups and cool-downs, with routes varying around the two towns. A separate Saturday junior programme provides an entry point for younger runners. The club also has triathlon links and organises local events, supported by a chip-timing system developed from 2011 for its races.
Visitors can try two or three sessions before deciding whether to join. The training page asks runners to arrive before the session for announcements and wear high-visibility clothing when needed. Senior applications use Spond, which also carries current training details. The enquiry form separates membership, racing, triathlon and welfare questions so newcomers can reach the appropriate volunteer.
