Our ethos is to cater for all abilities, and this includes top level performance runners. The Haries are a club competing at a high standard with top level athletes running for us. We regularly challenge non-university clubs within the Scottish cross-country leagues, and some members even compete internationally. A special mention goes to our recently graduated Megan Keith – who competed for GB in the 10,000m in the Olympics Last Summer.

In 2025, the university launched the Global Endurance Project, designed to maximise the potential of Edinburgh University athletes on the track. The project is led by former Olympian Mark Rowland.

Alongside this, the university also runs the Endurance Running Academy, a programme dedicated to supporting Scottish athletes competing in cross country, road running, mountain running, and track, under the guidance of coach Jonny Whan.
