About South Shields Harriers & AC
South Shields Harriers and Athletic Club dates from 1900 and serves South Shields, Tyne and Wear, England. Its history spans road running, walking, cross-country and track and field, with Gypsies Green on the seafront providing the familiar club training base.
The club's historical account includes international walker Tom Payne, Great North Run pioneer winner Karen Goldhawk, then Karen Moodie, and relay runner Jared Deacon. These names describe earlier chapters of the club, not verified present membership. The Harriers have also helped sustain local competition through events such as the Sand Dancer 10k and cross-country at Temple Park.
Junior and senior training is advertised on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with separate arrangements for primary-age children. Families and prospective adult members should confirm the suitable group before attending. The dedicated contact page provides general, membership, junior, senior and welfare email addresses, giving enquiries a clearer route than a single undifferentiated inbox.
