About Us
We are based at Marl Pits, Rawtenstall in Lancashire and train every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 7.00pm. Athletes of all standards are welcome to join our sessions as training is split into groups relating to age and/or ability. We regret however that we cannot accept juniors under the age of 8 years old. Rossendale Junior Harriers also cater for most disciplines within running and athletics including; fell running, track and field, road running and cross country. Training sessions often take place on the 400m running track at Marl Pits. Training is done under the guidance of qualified UKA coaches all of who are CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked.
