Dudley & Stourbridge Harriers is an athletics club founded in 1924. Originally established as Dudley Harriers, it took on its current name through the amalgamation with Stourbridge, Wordsley and District Harriers.
The history of many athletics clubs within the Midlands can trace their history back to Birchfield Harriers. Prior to 1924 athletics clubs could have multiple branches across a region. On September 24, 1910, at the Annual General Meeting of the Birchfield Harriers Tipton branch, Tipton Harriers became independent.[1]
As their membership grew club branches were founded at Wolverhampton, Dudley, Wednesbury and Cradley Heath. In 1924 the M.C.A.A.A banned the practice of having club branches.[2] The Dudley branch formed the Dudley Harriers & A C.
