Whether you’re brand new to running or a seasoned pro, you’re welcome at Hyde Park Harriers.
From complete beginner to super speedy, you’ll find a warm welcome at all of our running sessions.
Whatever the weather, we meet at 7pm Tuesday at The Edge, University of Leeds, and Thursday 7pm at either the park, Virgin Active at Cardigan Fields, or Carnegie Centre for Sport at 7:30pm if it’s a track interval session.
Please note that Hyde Park Harriers is an adults-only run club. Anyone attending our sessions must be 18 or over to participate.
Tuesday
Group Runs
Twelve groups offering variety of routes that include hills, flat runs and speedwork.
From Group One (beginners, returners and runners who take more than 35 minutes to run 5k) to Group twelve (comfortably sub 40 mins for 10k) no-one is too slow – you’ll never be left behind and you’ll never be made to feel a nuisance.
Thursday
Intervals/Hills
Depending on the time of year, Thursday sessions will either be intervals, either in the park or at the athletics track at Beckett’s Park (alternating weeks in the summer) or, during the winter we host a hill session and intervals sessions on alternating weeks.
Check spond for more details of the session happening each week.
These sessions are mixed ability with everyone training together, so just come along and have some fun, with the added benefit of a great training session.
