Wishing all our members a restful Christmas Break.

The last full club training session will be held on Thursday December 18th, 2025 and we will return after the New Year on Tuesday January 6th 2026.

Please talk to your coach with regards to any organised training sessions they may have planned for you to keep you fit, especially our Cross Country Athletes.

 Welcome to Ashford Athletic club.

2017 10k1.jpgWe are one of Kent's best known and most active athletic clubs, formed in March 1965. We are a club with a long history and a team of passionate, dedicated and well-qualified coaches. Our home track, the Julie Rose Stadium, was opened in 1997. It is currently under the management of Freedom Leisure. We have an 8-lane outdoor running track which was completely re-laid in 2022. We have facilities for long jump, high jump, pole vault, and throws (discus, javelin, shot) and an indoor sprint straight, long jump pit and throws cage. Our training sessions are held twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

 Please note : We cannot take children as members until they are in Year 5. (9-10 yrs old)   For  activities more suited to younger age children below year 5 please contact the Julie Rose Stadium. 

 As a dedicated competitive club, Ashford Athletic Club then provide an extensive range of competition events for all abilities and ages from Year 6 (age 10) to Veteran. Our youngest members from year 5 are able to compete socially in Sportshall competitions locally to gain experience before moving on to compete in the leagues.

We are generously supported by Givaudan which enables us to give our athletes as many opportunities as possible to achieve their goals, through quality training and competition.
