Settle Harriers Juniors meet on Tuesday nights from late April till early October.

Winter 2011-12 arrangements

During the winter months, training sessions for juniors will be taking place on Tuesdays at 4.15pm from Austwick village. These sessions are for club members aged 7 or over. They will vary each week and be a mixture of steady runs, faster speed-work and other fun activities.

Accompanying parents will be most welcome. Head torches and bright or reflective clothing will be needed from November onwards.

Please note that there is no session on Tuesday 11th October as there are schools cross-country races on the same day. If your child is interested in joining these sessions, please email Andy & Carol (ca.evans@talk21.com) for more information and directions to the meeting point"

General information

Training sessions are aimed at being fun, some are a more formal track session and others are fell runs. Some of our sessions are taken by Andy Mouncey, who is a UK Athletics Level Two Fell and Hill Running Coach, and Craig Eccleston, who is a fully qualified rugby coach who brings his expertise in general fitness and agility to our sport. Other members of Settle Harriers may lead runs and some of us are working towards formal UK Athletics coaching qualifications.

Please note that every child attending our sessions has to be accompanied by a parent/responsible adult who is responsible for that child for the duration of the session. Settle Harriers accepts no responsibility for your child – we provide a means for a group of like-minded parents and children to get together to improve their running.

Vests are available for the heavily discounted price of £5 and if children wish to compete in races, it’s a really good idea to get a vest then all the supporters can see you! Settle vests are highly visible! There are a number of fell races going on around the area during the summer – look out for BOFRA races in particular which have junior races from U9s up to U17s. There is a list of local races posted at the bottom of the page.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
