About Salford Harriers & AC

Salford Harriers and Athletic Club was founded in 1884 and is part of the sporting history of Salford and Greater Manchester, England. Its club account names Harry Hardwick as founder and recalls athletes including Alfred Tysoe and Dorothy Shirley. These are historical associations, not claims of present membership.

Senior training information includes SportCity in Manchester, road sessions from Moston and outings in Heaton Park. The club explicitly warns that listed sessions are informal, subject to change and should not be treated as a fixed public timetable. Junior provision is described separately, including track training at Cleavleys in Winton, Eccles.

The contact page separates enquiries for adults from those concerning under-eighteens, helping newcomers reach the appropriate group. Confirm the next session and whether it is open to a new athlete before travelling. The Manchester arena address is one training location, not the venue for all junior, senior and endurance activity.
