East Grinstead Athletics Club

East Grinstead & District Athletic Club was formed in 1978 and has taken part in a variety of competitions since then. We are typical of many small town athletics clubs with a number of dedicated administrators and coaches. We are a friendly club where we all know each other – whether we sprint, throw a discus, jump as high or as long as we can, run on roads or run over cross-country.

A number of our members have won Sussex Championships (and one or two in Surrey) and over 100 athletes have represented Sussex in inter-county fixtures. We have not as yet produced any international athletes but one of our members was close to representing Canada in the 1988 Olympics. But we have undoubtedly introduced athletics to a considerable number of children in East Grinstead.
