The Prairie Inn Harriers society is managed by a Board of Governors and several Venue Coordinators.

Early each year 5 to 12 members are elected as directors on the Board at an AGM with responsibility to oversee club goverance, finances, administration and operations. In addition to the elected directors, Coordinators are appointed to manage certain club responsibilities and tasks throughout the year.

The Harriers Foundation supports a number of educational, athletic, youth, community and charitable programs annually. The Prairie Inn Harriers Running Club was formed in 1978 and registered under the Societies Act in 1982. In 1986 the running club initiated the Harriers Foundation and since then P.I.H. has contributed $521,313 supporting 118 projects including eight scholarships and bursaries at the University of Victoria and at Camosun College to honour club members that have left us too soon.

Members who have paid their dues for the year are shown.  Complimentary memberships are provided to Lifetime Members, and Island Road Race Series registrants who declare Prairie Inn Harriers as their club.  PIH averages between 200 and 300 club members each year.  Please register to update your Membership Online.
