A proud heritage

Athletics for everyone

Kingston Athletic Club & Polytechnic Harriers is the longest-established athletics club in Kingston. As a volunteer-run community club we have built a proud tradition of developing athletes and competing at a high level across track and field, road running and cross country.

A passion for track and field athletics is the only qualification you need. We welcome athletes from age 8 through to Masters, with opportunities for beginners, recreational athletes and experienced competitors alike. Despite being volunteer-run we operate to exceptionally high standards: our athletes regularly feature in the UK Top 10 rankings, our coaches are passionate about development, and every penny we receive is reinvested in our members.

Parents, families and volunteers play a vital role in the welcoming atmosphere we're known for. Whether you're training, competing or supporting from the sidelines, you're part of Team KACPH.
