The Manchester YMCA Harriers were established in 1882. That makes us the oldest running club in Manchester, and the second oldest "Harrier" club in the UK.
We are based at the Y Club in the heart of Manchester, and continue to be one of the friendliest clubs too!
The Manchester YMCA Harriers Committee is responsible for the day-to-day running of the club and making decisions that will affect the future of the club.
The committee is made up of volunteers elected at the Club's Annual General Meeting. They give their time freely for the benefit of the club and its members.
