Races

Griffithstown Harriers club is a member of the Gwent Leisure Centre League. We compete against other local clubs in 5 road races, and 5 cross country races every year.

Griffithstown Harriers are also eligible to enter the Gwent Leagues, a series of cross country events held all over South Wales and the West Country every winter.

Club Members are encouraged to enter our own Club Championship - a series of races held throughout the year, covering all disciplines. The top scoring male and female receive recognition in the form of a trophy awarded at the annual presentation evening.

In addition, we host our own races - The Richard Davies Sorbrook Challenge 10k in May and a
Boxing Day Fancy Dress Fun Run.

For details of all these races, and others, follow the links below.
