About the Club
Chiltern Harriers A.C. was formed in 1978 at the start of the boom in Road Running. Since then the club has expanded to cover the whole range of athletic activities, road running, cross-country in the winter months, and track and field athletics in the summer.
After a series of mergers with other clubs, Chiltern Harriers A.C. is now the only athletic club in the Chiltern Area, and has members from all over the region, Chesham, Amersham, the Chalfonts, Prestwood and Great Missenden. The membership stands at around 400, and is composed of athletes of all ages from 10 years old upwards.
The club competes in the National Youth Development League and the Southern Women's Track and Field League, and is in Division One of the Chiltern Cross Country League. Members also compete in road races over varying distances, from 5 miles, 10K, half-marathons. The London Marathon is still very popular with members, and new members join us each year to train for this event.
The club stages several events throughout the year, these are:
We cater for athletes who enjoy the competitive aspects of the sport and thrive on competition, and also those who just want to run for pleasure and to keep fit. We organise a variety of training runs, which take us all over the Chiltern countryside. All our members benefit from belonging to a club and being able to run with people of like ability.
