Welcome - We are the Aurora Harriers!

The Aurora Harriers are a small and friendly north east running club based in the Birtley Sports Complex on Durham road. We meet at 6:45pm Tues and Thurs for training in the winter months. In the summer we meet at various locations for scenic runs through woodland etc.

Sunday morning runs are organised throughout the year in various locations and we pride ourselves on being the ONLY club in the North East who has competed in every North Eastern, Northern and National Cross Country Champs sice we were formed! Some feature for a small club!

We are a friendly club with a good social side that often sees some good nights out and nice meals. We also have the reputation of welcoming athletes of all abilities. Aurora Harriers also offers a FREE membership for a 6 month period, that way you can be sure your enjoying yourself and that the club is right for you before you start paying so you really have nothing to lose!

For further details, please feel free to CONTACT US and we try our best to answer any questions you have.

Recent Testimonial:

"Everyone was absolutely knackered afterwards and lets just say most were reluctant at that point to declare whether they had enjoyed the race or not. This was probably all apart from the lads from Aurora whose spirits can never be dampened (no pun intended) who were trying to sort out their Barbie after the race - only joking but they would have easily won the 'tent of the day' competition. Sort of a cross between a gazebo and one of those tents that medieval knights got changed in at jousting competitions - absolute class!"
