Hemel’s Local Running Club
Serving Our Running Community Since 1991
Gade Valley Harriers is a Club organised by runners for runners.
We like to think of it as a group of friends all sharing a common interest. Today we have a strong base of good quality runners, triathletes and ultra-distance runners and we have a history of winning and being well-placed in many individual and team categories ranging across road races like the Berkhamsted Half Marathon to the South Downs Marathon Relay and the Chiltern League over testing cross country routes and also ultra distance events like Race To The Stones.
We currently have 130 members and we welcome adult runners of all abilities.
