During the winter activity is focused at the SLH Headquarters in Coulsdon, which is ideally situated for cross-country racing and road running training. In the summer, focus switches to track and field. Since 1991 the Club's track and field base has been Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, which offers some of the best facilities in the country including an all weather track and weight training room.
Both track and Clubhouse remain open all year for training. Qualified coaches are available to supervise training and offer advice and encouragement. The club is very active socially, organising various events during the year. The Clubhouse bar is open after training.
SLH welcomes new and prospective members to join us on training sessions. Training and coaching are available at both Coulsdon HQ and Crystal Palace. The basis of any athletics club is its competition, and SLH is no different. South London Harriers is involved in competition for all ages in every area of the sport.
Young athletes compete on the track and field in both the boys' and girls' MacDonald's Young Athletes Leagues, and in cross-country races through the winter.
Road Running: The Club participates in the Surrey Road Race League. SLH is represented at most local races and many members compete in the London marathon every year. The Club also organises the Elmore 7 Road Race and three multi terrain "Informal 10ks" in May, June and July.
Track and Field: SLH participates in the Southern and Rosenheim Leagues and G.R.E. Cup.
Road Running: SLH has been very successful in recent years in these events, and had third team in the 2004 London marathon.
Track and Field: A combined women's and girls' team competes in the Southern League, and has club championships during the summer.
