North East Harrier League – XC sign up

The 2026/27 North East Harrier League (NEHL) cross country season is here! 

Time flies by and another season of cross country is upon us. There are lots of cross country races to get stuck into including relays, championship races and the local North East Harrier League (NEHL).

For new members, we try to get as many as runners as possible out at the NEHL events. They are open to everyone, you will not be last, we take the tent, flag, and there may even be tea, coffee, and cakes. A beginner’s guide to the Harrier League can be found here, please also speak to your captains/vice captains or seasoned cross-country runners from your training group if you need further encouragement.

There are 6 Harrier League fixtures plus the Sherman Cup/Davison Shield:

• 26th September (Sat) – Thornley Hall Farm
• 10th October (Sat) – Eltringham Farm
• 24th October (Sat) – Lambton Estate
• 28th November (Sat) – Wrekenton
• 17th January (Sun) – Venue TBC
• 13^th February (Sat) – Temple Park [Sherman Cup/Davison Shield]
• 27th February (Sat) – Alnwick Castle Pastures

For all fixtures, the women’s race is approx. 6.5k (2 laps, 13:20 start) while the men’s race is approx. 9.5k-10km (3 laps, 13:50 start).

Once again, the club will cover your entry so there is nothing to pay all season! In addition, there will be a special reward for anyone who completes 4 fixtures (or 50% of those that go ahead).

Our women’s team were 1st in Division 1 last season, while our men were 4th, also in Division 1. This season, we will be looking to get both teams on the Division 1 podium! It doesn’t matter if you think you aren’t fast, it is the number of our runners on the course that matters. The more members that run, the better we score relative to the other teams. It’s a great way to support your club!

Please fill in the form below to sign up. Even if you can only attend late-season fixtures it is much easier for us to get you registered now. The form will close on Friday 18th September to allow us to do the entries ahead of the NEHL deadline on the 22nd. Please note that this form is intended for senior athletes, parents should get in touch with the junior coordinator for junior entries.

We look forward to seeing you out there!

• I understand that if I sign up this season but don’t run an event I will be asked to cover the £7 cost of registration.First Choice

The club will cover all NEHL entry fees this year. However, because registration costs are rising, we ask that anyone who signs up but doesn’t run in a fixture repays their registration fee. This will help keep us in a position to subsidise entries in the future
