Club Fixtures
The club fixture card is printed and sent to members twice a year. Many are free to enter but some require members to enter, and pay, individually.
The club’s winter fixtures are focussed on cross country events.
There are 3 Mob Matches against our traditional rivals Blackheath, Ranelagh, and South London Harriers.
We take part in two leagues, each with 5 or 6 races per season.
Essex League has races for all age groups, against clubs from all over the county.
Chingford League is a little less pressurised against 10 more local rival clubs.
The season finishes with our 15 mile classic, now over 60 years old, the Orion 15
The club takes part in a range of road and trail races in the summer months.
We also compete in the Southern Athletics League covering all track and field events.
We compete against other clubs in 2 very different leagues, and host a race in each of them.
The Midweek League is number 1 priority. 5 races – 7.45 weekday evening starts – free to enter – free post race refreshments
The ELVIS races, our 2nd league also has team competition but requires members to enter individually. Entry fees are kept low, always less than £10.
In addition the club organises a number of races in the forest, enter on the day /evening for small donation to club funds. These include Summer Handicap, Fell Race, Mad Mile and 5k on the Rides.
We also organise FASTFriday, prestigious 5k and 10k track races, and some of our members are FAST enough to meet the tough qualifying criteria!
A summer handicap competition is in place to encourage you to have a go at as many races as possible. They are all suitable for all levels of ability.
