Welcome

Longwood Harriers Athletic Club is a competitive Athletics (Track & Field) and Running club; it began as a running group from St Mark's Church in Longwood, Huddersfield in 1888. We are now based at Leeds Road and as the facilities there no longer cater for a range of athletics events, we also use Cleckheaton Athletics Track.
We welcome Athletes from all parts of the community from nine years old and upwards. There is an expectation that all members, whatever age, will compete for the club during the year several times. This could be in Track and Field (Indoor and Outdoor), Road Running, Cross Country etc. We don't just exercise or train, we compete!
Current members: please use our mobile app (HEJA) for further details, events and discussions
