Welcome to Orion Harriers
We are a friendly, running club, suitable for all ages and all abilities, based in North Chingford, on the edge of Epping Forest. We have a membership of over 300 runners, comprising of women and men aged from 18 – 80, plus a vibrant juniors section with 300 members. Whether your ambition is to run competitively or just jog to get fit and meet new friends, Orion Harriers is the club for you!
Club House Extension
As everyone is probably aware we are proposing to extend the clubhouse to provide larger and improved changing facilities and communal areas to cope with current membership numbers and predicted growth.

Our first head torch night race and my first event race win!
Anna and I headed back to the Rotorua Red Woods, this time for the Rotorua Night Trail Half Marathon.
This year was the first year this race had been run as a half marathon and it was only a small field but I ran neck and neck with 2nd place all the way to end and won buy just 7 seconds!
Anna finished 6th woman, which was a great result even though she was being cautious on the trail.
It was an unforgettable finish as we crossed the line 20 seconds before the 400 odd quarter marathon runners were set to start their race going in the opposite direction! Everyone was so supportive, hand shakes and hi-fives left right and centre.

The last event on your summer fixture card. Clashes with Pleshey half m'thon where we have 30 entered. Even so, it's disappointing to see this may be our lowest ELVIS numbers for the summer. Other races have had record Orion numbers. Support your captain Brian. He's overall 3rd in the series. Mark Dillon is leading M40, and Ella Wilson in contention for 1st woman. Why not give your Saturday parkrun a rest and get a late summer 5k PB on Sunday. B|
There is now just over 24 hrs to pre-enter East London Runners' Charity 5K in Valentines Park. This is also the last ELVIS race of the 2017 season. Enter now at www.entrycentral.com/valentinespark5k...
Our Facebook page continues to grow - almost 900 members now. We are long overdue a social media policy, which other clubs our size have and which is strongly encouraged by UK Athletics. I attach the wording agreed by the committee earlier this week. I will also put a copy on our website. Happy posting!
