The Chippenham Harriers Youth is a sub-section of the Chippenham Harriers, run by volunteers to promote healthy lifestyles for young athletes through enthusiasm for running. Our mission is to hold structured weekly training sessions in a fun environment with each young athlete working towards realistic goals.
Session information
Chippenham Harriers Youth meet on Wednesdays from 6:45pm until 7.55pm.
Our Youth section is for children aged 8 to 18 years old and sessions start at Chippenham Sports Dome on Bristol Road.
Sessions are led and supervised by coaches and coaching assistants who have been trained by and gained qualifications through England Athletics. Parent volunteers can also help out and we are always happy to have volunteers, even non running ones!
We aim to cater for a range of abilities, though as a guideline participants should be capable of 1 minute jogging/1 minute walking.
As well as training in the dome, we do run outside so it is really important for each child to bring a high-visibility tabard or vest with them. If you need any advice about kit please just ask one of the coaches.
If you would like to, you can purchase Chippenham Harriers Youth Club Kit.
Getting involved
Chippenham Harriers Youth is fantastically popular and there is sometimes a waiting list. If your child would like to come along for a trial please complete this form and we will get back to you to confirm the trial date: https://forms.gle/MK5PifmeZWSDmXNw8
The trial is a chance for your child to see if they enjoy taking part.
For any other enquiries please email .
Chippenham Harriers youth membership currently costs £45 a year. Part of this money goes to England Athletics and Chippenham Sports Club. Other funds go towards the hire of the Sports Dome and coaching courses.
Chippenham Harriers Youth could not survive without unpaid volunteers and you don’t have to be an athlete to take part. If you are a parent of an athlete and you’d like to get involved please just ask one of the coaches or email .
We operate the same dates as Wiltshire school term times. The golden rule: If it is a school holiday there will be no Harriers Youth.
