| What are
we about? |
| Simply we try to get involved in every aspect of running
and Athletics and welcome all ages and abilities. If you
just want to jog to keep fit - fine, if you want to try
your hand at throwing or jumping in track & field athletics
- fine, if you've got delusions of grandeur (who hasn't?)
and want to compete in the higher echelons of the sport
- fine. Is that all possible within a single club
you ask? There's only one way to find out and that's to
try it and see. Here we demonstrate the depth and variety
of our activities by listing our achievements both individually
and in team competition - National and International titles
and our own Bingley Harrier Club Records speak for themselves. |
| Sydney Glover Trophy |
The Sydney
Glover Rotary Trophy was first awarded in 1972. It is presented
annually by the President for the most outstanding performance
of the year by a club member. The first to receive the award
was Harold Frobisher for his javelin throwing prowess.

| CLUB RECORDS |
| The club's oldest surviving record is
held by one Helmut Eberlein who, in 1972, hurled the discus
some 50.38 metres. Although several of our number have come
close we are still waiting for our first four-minute mile.

| ROLL OF HONOUR |
 There
are many from Bingley who have competed in international competition,
in all aspects of the sport. The first Bingley Harrier to
represent his country was David Humphreys in 1957. He is pictured
here with the Fowler Shield he won that year as Club Champion.

| TEAM SUCESSES |
Competing as part of a team is a particularly
rewarding experience. Whether you're one of the elite, chosen
to jet off to a European Championship or as an essential piece
of the Calderdale Way Z-team jigsaw.

history of Bingley Harriers, at least the first 100 years,
is contained in 'The Story So Far' - a book which is bursting
at the seams with stories and information. Copies of the book
