Off-Road Championship

The Harrogate Harriers Off Road Championships continues into 2025!

Following the successful changes introduced in 2024, we’re sticking with the same expanded format: more races, exciting team events, and a broader qualification structure that includes both Trail races and PECO XC races.

The championship season runs from March 2025 to February 2026, allowing us to include the full PECO XC series—just as much mud as the fell runs, so why not!

Bonus points are once again up for grabs in selected team events.

Get those race dates in your diary—it’s set to be another fantastic year of off-road running. If you are going to attend sign up on Spond so everyone knows who is going and who their competition is going to be!

The championship leaderboard is updated regularly, usually soon after each race’s results are published.

Rules for 2025

  • You have to do SIX races in order to qualify for a finishing position in the Championship. If you do more, then your best six will go towards determining your position in the final championship table.

  • To Qualify you will only need 2 fell races, 2 Trail races and 2 Peco so it's up to you how far you want to run and how muddy you want to get.

Scoring for 2025

  • For Non-Team races: 1st Harrier home gets 10 points, 2nd Harrier gets 9 points, 3rd Harrier 8 points and so on. If more than 10 Harriers then the last few will get 1 point each. 

  • Team Events:  1 point for volunteering for HH squad for a team event (but not selected), everyone who takes part in the team event gets 5 points

Championship Winners

  • The winning Open Entrant/Female will be the ones that score the most points, but there will also be Open/Female V40, V50 and V60 vets categories.

  • Only 1st Claim Members will be able to take part in the off-road champs.
