The long-awaited repairs to the track at Exeter Arena are due to start on 21st September and last for two weeks (weather dependant). Therefore the September Tuesday Evening Open Meeting on 29th is CANCELLED - it would not be feasible to postpone into October when the Cross-Country and SportsHall seasons start.
In addition, there will be NO TRAINING for our 6:30 – 7:30 Juniors on Tuesday 22nd, Thursday 24th, Tuesday 29th or Thursday 1 October. If the contractors are delayed, then there is a doubt about the following week, but we will let members know.
Some of our Senior groups may organise training on the grass at Exhibition Fields, but that will be decided by the relevant Coaches. Please check in with your Coach for arrangements for your regular training group, or ask the Welcome Desk on a club night.
Note that we will not accept transfers from the Juniors to the Seniors groups during this time, and we will not accept new Temporary Members while we are not able to use the Arena.
The volunteer ru
n Club is based on the Exeter Arena site with bus links and ample parking. Our clubhouse is purpose built and includes indoor seating, a cafe and second hand kit for sale.
Exeter Harriers hires the multi-sport arena and all-weather track for club nights and events. From April to September the Club organises Exeter Evening Open Meetings on the last Tuesday of each month. We also run the Ken Trickey Memorial one-day meeting as a season opener in April. We organise some cross-country events on the nearby Exhibition Fields.
Our experienced Coaching Team all have current UKA coaching licenses and are DBS checked to an enhanced level.
The Club competes in leagues across Devon and the South West. Some of our members also compete nationally and internationally. There are competitions for athletes of all abilities and ages. Harriers’ teams compete in the South West Athletics League and the Westward Cross Country League. Junior athletes also take part in Devon Sportshall League. Competing is a great way to measure improved performance; every point helps the Club maintain its league positions too.
So if you're looking to learn a new skill, develop an existing one, get fit, stay fit or meet new friends, Exeter Harriers could be the club for you. We look forward to meeting you!
