Club Activity

Istead and Ifield Harriers  run several competitions throughout the year including the Grand Prix, Captains’ Trophy, Winter Handicap and Club Championships. A new ‘Summer Smash’ competition has been introduced for those members who prefer to participate in only shorter-distance races.

More detailed information can be found on Members’ Guide to Competitions 2023 to 2024
