He was part of the Olympic Training Squad for the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Games and won championships through the late ‘40s. He competed until 1989. Harold joined the committee at Coburg Harriers in 1953. He was president of the club for 13 years, starting in 1963, Cross Country Captain for 7 years and treasurer for a number of years as well. He founded both the Coburg Fun Runners weekly competition in 1984 and the Coburg Veteran’s weekly competition in 1986. Harold was also president of the Coburg Little Athletics Centre for three years. Beginning in 1955, Harold acted as a track marshal and umpire. He was Clerk of Course for the Modern Pentathlon Cross Country Course at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. From 1969
