Junior Harriers

The Junior Harrier Section of the running club is extremely popular. Children of all abilities aged 8 upwards are welcome to join in the fun.

Our UK Athletic qualified coaches, coaching assistants and other volunteers are all CRB (police) checked.

Training takes place twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 6 pm and 7 pm as follows: -

Summer (April – August) - track and field training at Moreton Park sports field.

Winter (Sept – April) - Tuesdays – road running. We meet at the Clubhouse on The Pill. This is endurance training for juniors aged 9 +. Athletes wishing to take part will first need to undertake a trial session, where the coaches will judge your capabilities for this type of training.

Winter (Sept – April) - Thursdays - a variety of circuit type fun exercises at Bideford College sports hall.

Throughout the year, those wishing to compete are actively encouraged to take part in the Devon Open Series Track & Field League, Devon Sportshall League, Brooks Westward League Cross Country and the N Devon Cross Country League.

Anyone representing the club in competition must wear a club top. However, this is not essential on training nights. A selection of club kit is available to purchase from the Hospice Shop, Chingswell Street, Bideford.

Before any training can take place, a consent form MUST be completed for each athlete. You will find a copy of this in the “Contracts” link. This will be issued to you prior to training.

Fees – The membership year runs from January – December and junior harrier membership is currently £13 per year. There is also a subscription charge of £1 per month and a charge of £1 per sports hall session. Subs and sports hall fees are payable in advance at intervals throughout the year.

There is currently a waiting list to join the junior harriers.

To add your name to the list, or for further information, please contact: -

Gail Beever on 07894 861535 or email gebeever@btinternet.com

Junior Training - 2012

Training for the Spring Term will commence as follows -

Tuesday training – 03/01/12 - road running 6 - 7 O'clock meeting at the Clubhouse.
Thursday training - 05/01/12 - sports hall training 6 - 7 O'clock at Bideford College sports hall.

Fees will be due as follows: -

If you train on Tuesdays ONLY, £3 will be payable.

If you train on Tuesdays and Thursdays or Thursdays only, £15 will be payable.

If you train with Stewart on Thursdays your training session will primarily be in the Sports Hall.

These payments will cover your costs for the spring term (Jan – March) and must be paid by the end of January at the latest.

In order to secure your place on a particular training session, "training fees" must be maintained. If payments aren't received on time it will be assumed that you no longer require your training session(s). If at a later stage you wish to rejoin a particular session you will need to request to go on the waiting list. Gail Beever is the Junior Harrier Waiting List Secretary and can be contacted on 07894 861535 / gebeever@btinternet.com

This league, which is sponsored by Gliddon & Squire, encourages runners from schools and clubs of all abilities aged 7 to 70 to take part in a series of six cross country races held at N Devon schools between September and February. The entrance fee is £4 (for all 6 races). Every runner who competes in 4 out of the 6 races earns a shield.

Each runner’s/team’s 4 best scores are added together to give an individual final result. A “team” is 3 runners finishing from the same club/school. Trophies and shields are awarded to the winning teams and individuals in each age group.

Presentations are made after the last race at the final meeting of the season.
