National Cross Country Championships
Saturday 22nd February 2025 sees the nationals back at their spiritual home of Parliament Hill.
We're hoping to take as many as Harriers as possible. If you're not signed up already please speak to your coach / team manager. We're also hoping to organise a coach for the trip. There will be some fundraising efforts to help make this more affordable.
There were a couple of black out cards at the boxing day relays that didn't quite get filled so would be great if we could get that finished. It's a £1 a square so please ask about it in the club house (or email comms@nuneatonharriers.org.uk)
Cross Country Fixtures
While on the subject of cross country. Next senior fixtures on the January 11th. Women are at Warley Woods, Smethwick and the men are at Top Barn, Worcester.
The next junior fixture is January 12th at Aldersley Stadium, Wolverhampton.
All places count in these fixtures so if you're interested in competing please get in touch to make sure you're registered.
London Marathon 2025
We drew the ballot for our club entry for the London marathon at the boxing day relays.
Matt Collins was the lucky recipient with Jared Wilson as the backup entry.
Good luck with your training!
Club Comms
Just a reminder about some of the things we have to help with getting news and information about goings on at the club.
Facebook page - news and announcements are posted on the club Facebook page here - FollowNHAC
Strava - we have a club Strava group where you can see activities from other club members but we also post the same news and announcements that the facebook page. That's available here - Nuneaton Harriers Strava Group
Facebook Group - There's a group for members to chat available here - Harriers Group
WhatsApp - we also have a community on WhatsApp to bring together the various whatsapp groups we have. These groups are intended to be very specific so you only get chat and information you're interested in. Sprinters probably don't want to be bombarded with details about the next cross country fixture for example.
There's also an announcements group so we don't have to post things that are relevant to everyone multiple times.
It looks like this at the moment.
If you want to be in any of these groups, or if you have a Harriers WhatsApp group that's missing from here drop an email to comms@nuneatonharriers.org.uk
Thank you to everyone that has competed and volunteered for the club in 2024. Your efforts are appreciated!
