About us - White Horse Harriers

We are a friendly athletics club in Wantage & Grove, Oxfordshire, with around 200 members of all ages and abilities. Our club offers structured coaching for young athletes, support for beginners, and opportunities to explore Oxfordshire’s scenic trails. We also compete in a variety of disciplines, including Sportshall, Track & Field, Road Running, Cross Country, and Ultra distance events.

Formed in 1981, White Horse Harriers (WHH) has a legacy of achievements, with standout performances from members like Jessica Harrison (Olympic triathlete), Ben Claridge (400m English Schools champion), and Jonny Cornish (Oxfordshire Cross Country League winner). Eda Onay represented GB at Triathle, winning U15 girls and in 2017, Okan Onay brought home a gold medal from the European Triathle Championships in Portugal.

The club offers strong coaching for all ages: juniors train twice weekly with EA-certified coaches, while seniors benefit from Run Leaders who guide runners of all levels through structured training like hill reps, intervals, and track sessions.

WHH is inclusive, offering beginner courses like JogWantage and volunteering at the local ParkRun at Grove Fields. By organizing local events, the club contributes to local charities, and hosts the White Horse Half Marathon and the White Horse Gallop, the half marathon trail event on the stunning Ridgeway National Trail.
