High-visibility tops are compulsory for all training sessions that aren’t held solely within the Cricket Ground or Rowley Stadium.

Please don’t turn up without a plain white top or a high-visibility top; the session leader will refuse your participation.

Changes to training sessions:-

• The progression runs will start using the Winter routes.
• Track session @ Rowley will be the 2nd Wednesday of each month This will start again in March 2026
• Thursday road runs will use the winter routes.
• On the last Thursday of every month, there will be a Chase Head Torch run followed by a pub social. The location of the Chase run and the chosen pub for the event.
• Friday Improvers Chase and Castle runs will be replaced by a road run from the cricket club.

 

 

Stafford Harriers has the privilege to host the NSCCL cross country on Stafford Common 18th October.

To do this we need your help.

Dear Harriers,

Now is your chance to take that step up from being a member to participate in actually running the club or the activities.

Following the last Committee Meeting we have openings for:

1/ Chair person  — I will complete my 3 years tenure at the end of December, and stepping down. At the AGM on Thursday, 22 January 2026 we will need to select a new Chair.

2/ The Club Secretary (Julie) has very kindly supported the club covering this role. It’s time to find a permanent person to fill this role.

3/ We host the North Staffs Cross Country League (NSCCL) race at Stafford Common. The race director has asked for support and is willing to train the new person to learn and take over the responsibilities (from 2026). The race this is on 18^th October 2025. All the admin is done so it really is a great time to learn about the tasks required on the day and to co-ordinate the volunteers.

4/ Following the success of hosting three races this summer, for next year we will be starting a race committee. Learn what it takes to plan, prepare, set-up and host actual races.

If you are interested in any of the above roles, please contact the club via chair@staffordharriers.org.
