To All Members – we are pleased to announce the re-start of some outdoor group training and coaching In line with the easing of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions from Tue 30 Mar onwards.
All activities will, and must be, delivered in a Covid secure manner in line with the Government Roadmap for easing lockdown restrictions and England Athletics guidance for activities in a Covid secure environment. We will keep attendance registers and collect contact details if we don’t already have them for possible Covid Test & Trace purposes.

And this is a big thankyou to all Bingley Harriers and supporters who were involved in any activities in 2020. We ran Covid Secure outdoor coaching and training for 3 months and held some Covid Secure events, in between Covid lockdowns, with well over 1000 attendances. Strong organisation and careful behaviour by all involved meant there were no incidences of any Covid transmission that I am aware of, at any Bingley Harriers activities. As a result I am confident that, with your help, our activities are safe, the risk of any Covid transmission is extremely small, and we are playing our part in keeping ourselves and our communities safe.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at Bingley Harriers activities.
If you have any queries please let me know.
