About the League

  • The Harrogate District Summer Race League (HDSRL or even HRL) is a friendly league of local running clubs which organises a series of summer evening races each year.
  • Races are generally 5-6 miles and may be on roads  or other public rights of way, usually a mix.
  • Distances are approximate and courses are not measured, which simplifies race organisation.
  • All races are covered by UK Athletics licenses.
  • There is always the opportunity to socialise after the races and  refreshments are provided, ranging from the full traditional buffet, a long-time favourite feature of the league, with a bar available, to snacks where the venue doesn’t have the facilities for more extensive catering.
  • Races are open only to members of affiliated clubs, with no guest runners permitted.
  • There is a one-off individual fee to cover the whole series of races and the handicap race.
  • Each affiliated club has one or more ‘reps’ who represent the club at general meetings of the League and act as a channel for communication between the League, the club and its members.
  • The league competition is followed by a handicap race and presentation evening. There are league prizes for individuals, club teams, and for the handicap race.
