About Middleton Harriers AC
The present Middleton Harriers grew from Middleton Fitness Club during the 1980s marathon boom in Greater Manchester, England. Its own history distinguishes this club from earlier groups bearing the Harriers name. Pack runs and a lively social programme helped the new organisation develop, and it created the Moonraker Half Marathon.
After moving to Hopwood Hall in 1996, the club eventually returned to Middleton when the Arena became available. Today its programme includes road running, cross-country and fell racing, with Couch to 5K for beginners and people returning to running.
Training is spread between Middleton Arena, Heaton Park, Boggart Hole Clough track and changing fell venues. Newcomers are encouraged to try a few sessions before joining and should check the current weekly arrangements. Eddie's Revenge, the Hopwood Trot and the club handicap are among its own events, alongside opportunities to race as a team.
