Parents
Tom Hartley’s roots trace back to Lydiate, Lancashire (now Merseyside), on the outskirts of Liverpool, where his father, Bill Hartley, originated.
Bill initiated his athletic journey at the age of 13, focusing on high jump. By the age of 18, he had already set the Under-19 record for 400m hurdles with an impressive time of 52.9 seconds.
Bill Hartley’s athletic prowess extended to national and international levels, earning a silver medal for England at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand, and a gold medal at the European Championships in Rome in the 400m relay.
Representing England in the 400 meters hurdles event at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, further solidified his legacy.
Despite facing setbacks, including an Achilles tendon problem in 1982, which marked the end of his running career, Hartley transitioned to become a sprint coach and conditioner for Widnes Rugby League Club and later Wigan Rugby League Club.
In his personal life, Hartley married fellow athlete Donna Hartley in 1977, though the marriage ended in divorce with him remarrying Ann-Louise who is the mother of Tom. Presently, he manages the family floriculture business in Lydiate. As Tom Hartley has kept his relationship status private, details about his girlfriend remain a mystery.
