If you are interested in joining the club that’s great. We take athletes from their 9th birthday of all abilities! We have limited capacity so, in the first instance, please email newmembers.carmarthenharriers@hotmail.com
Depending on your experience in athletics you will be guided through where you will best fit.
Members are required to compete for the club.
Equipment - what you need:
A pair of trainers is all you need to start. When competing, having running spikes is helpful and these can be purchased relatively cheaply. There are specialist spikes / shoes for jumps and throws and coaches can advise on these after you join and are only needed as you advance through the sport
To compete you will need a Carmarthen Harriers vest. These can be purchased from the club before a competition.
