Falkirk Victoria Harrier would like to express or deepest gratitude to Heygirls.co.uk for their incredibly generous donation of sanitary products. Their donation will make a significant difference to many of our athletes at events or at our club premises when needed.
Access to essential menstrual hygiene products is often overlooked, yet it is crucial for maintaining health, dignity, and overall well-being. Hey Girls donation will provide much-needed support to those who may otherwise struggle to access these basic necessities and their commitment to social responsibility is inspiring.
Good Luck to everyone competing at the National XC Championships on Saturday!

Club Meeting Tuesday 13th February at Grangemouth Stadium 7pm |
Dear Athlete/Parent/Guardian, Falkirk Victoria Harriers Committee are asking you to attend a Club Meeting of the Utmost importance on Tuesday 13th February at Grangemouth Stadium 7pm. Coaches may choose to cancel training or organise training around this meeting. This meeting is in regards to the Potential Closure of Grangemouth Stadium and Actions that must be taken to ensure its survival. It is essential you make every effort to attend this meeting as the consequences of stadium closing may result in the loss of training facilities for yourself/child going forward. We would also like to quickly go over the new coaching structure due for implementation in the coming weeks. This will primarily effect U11/U13 & U15 athletes. Kind Regards Gary Smith President Falkirk Victoria Harriers |
Welcome to the Summer 2024 Road Series. This series consists of 8 different events, and you must participate in at least 5 to count. Your best 5 performances will count towards your score.
We will have 4 different categories, Male 39 & under, Male 40 & over, Female 39 & under, and Female 40 & over. The age that you are on 2nd March 2024 determines your age group (just incase anyone is turning 40😉). Your points will be based on your ranking within your category. For example, if you are the quickest in an event in your category, you will receive 1 point, and the aim is to end up with as little points as possible.
The aim of this series is for us to get competitive, work hard, socialise after the events, and have fun 🕺 Throughout the series I will post reminders of events, but I encourage you to enter into these events as early as possible, to avoid them selling out.
I will keep track of all of the points, and will give an update on scores throughout the series. The winners will be announced at our Club Presentation Night in November 🏆
