Highgate Harriers was founded in 1879 and club members, past and present,
have enjoyed running over the beautiful surroundings of
Hampstead Heath ever since.
The club is based at the Parliament Hill athletics track on the
south side of Hampstead Heath, London, NW5 and with nearly 800 acres of
undulating heathland on which to train, has developed a strong tradition
in cross country running.
The club welcomes new members of all standards and abilities. Just come along to the
track and join in with one of the training sessions.
