25th Party     International Snowdon Race 2007
Congleton is a small market town based in the East of Cheshire, 8 miles south of Macclesfield and 21 miles south of Manchester. Congleton Harriers is the Borough's oldest running club, about to celebrate our 30th birthday. We aim to promote all forms of running whilst also acting as a meeting place for anyone interested in running. We currently have well over 120 members of all ages, experience and ability!  As our name suggests we run across all types of terrain, road, trail, cross-country and fell.  Many of our members enter a number of local races each year and we also enter both men's and ladies teams into the local cross-country league.  We often venture further afield within the UK and Europe for social weekends with the odd marathon thrown in.  We usually have at least half a dozen entrants for the London Marathon each Spring.

Why not come along and run with us - you're welcome to try us out before you join up.

PLEASE NOTE - the run durations are only estimates - if you cannot run for this long IT DOES NOT MATTER.  Just let us know you're coming along and one or two of us will run at your pace for as long as you can run.  On our main club night, we always have runners at the back of the groups who will stay with the last runner.  However, we suggest you should try to be able to run for at least 6 miles or say an hour.

Most of these sessions start from Congleton Leisure Centre (see map below). Don't worry whether you're a five minute miler or a complete beginner, prefer roads or fell, you'll find someone to run with!
