The Wakefield Harriers are an Athletics’ Club that cater for all athletic events for all age groups, from the age of 8 right up to the Veteran age groups.
They compete in a number of Junior and Senior, Male and Female Leagues with all abilities are welcome. The Harriers members range in ability from fun-runners and beginners right up to International competitors. In 2008 two members of the club represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games in Beijing.
During the summer months we enjoy exclusive use of the International standard Athletics Track in Thornes Park for training evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During the winter months, our athletes can continue their training in the Stadium’s Indoor Sports Hall.
The Junior Jets
The Junior Jets are young athletes under the age of 11 years. They are coached in all athletic events following a programme organised by the coaches with an emphasis on learning skills in a fun environment.The Junior Jets are part of the Wakefield and District Harriers, which are affiliated to the Athletics Association.
They meet most Tuesdays and Thursdays between 6.00 pm and 7.00 pm at the Thornes Park Stadium. The only times we do not meet are usually Bank Holidays.
For each training session athletes pay a training fee to the club. This is currently £1.50 per session for Junior Jets and £2.00 for athletes over 11 years old.
