Race with Hyde Park Harriers

Although many of our members just run for fun or for fitness, we also have an active race programme.

Each year, we designate a number of races as “club events” and these contribute to our yearly awards.

The competitions are open to all first claim members who compete in these designated races and who have paid their Club subscription in full.

For news about upcoming races, race reports and photos, please check out our blog.


Club Competitor

Unlike the Club Championship which seeks to establish who in the club has run the fastest at designated races, the Club Competitor Championship recognises those athletes that have regularly represented the club throughout the year.


Summer League

Ten designated races over a variety of distances and terrains in the local area, running between April and September. The competition is open to all first claim members who compete in the specified races and who have paid their years subscription in full.

The best five race performances for each member will be totalled giving you your final score.


Winter League

Ten designated races over a variety of distances and terrains in the local area, running between October and March. The competition is open to all first claim members who compete in the specified races and who have paid their years subscription in full.

The best five race performances for each member will be totalled giving you your final score.


Fell Championships

The Fell championships include ten designated races ranging from 1.5 to 15 miles. The competition is open to all first claim members who compete in the specified races and who have paid their years subscription in full.

The best five race performances for each member will be totalled giving you your final score.


Age Grade Championships

Age grading compares your time to the world record time for your sex and age to produce a % score. This score allows you to compare your personal performance against other people’s performances even though they might be a different age and a different sex to you.


parkrun Championships

The series takes place between April and February and consists of 11 ‘rounds’ of scoring at a nominated parkrun each month. Your best nine results from the 11 rounds will be totalled giving you your final score.

The competition is open to all first claim members who take part in the designated parkruns. Your best age graded performance for the month will count and you will score points based on your age graded score compared to other Harriers scores.
