THURROCK HARRIERS AC - BLACKSHOTS STADIUM

Thurrock Harriers were established over 55 years ago, located on Blackshots playing fields.  The track and in-field area have recently been refurbished and there are plans to also improve the clubhouse and stadium.

At the club there are athletes of all ages and abilities.  The club is involved in track and field events, cross country and road running.  Over the years the club has produced 15 international athletes and dozens of county champions.  Including Mel Batty (WR for 10 miles), Fatima Whitbread MBE (WR for Javelin), Danny Crates (Paralympics Gold Medalist) plus Matthew Simson and Billy Cole (Shot Put Champions).

We always welcome new members to the team.
