5 JULY 2026
Wimbledon, Tour de France, World Cup, F1, Challenge Roth… there’s no shortage of sports to be watching this weekend, but Kent AC came out in force to cheer, volunteer, run and jump at the Ron Hale Open at the track today. A full report of all events will follow, but for now to say a massive well done and thank you to everyone who organised it – and everyone who took part too.
Read on for a report of this week’s Assembly League fixture at Sutcliffe Park (spoiler: we smashed it). And mark your diaries for some summer social events this month where post-running rehydration will be just as, if not more, important than the running itself…see you there!
Social Run – Wednesday 15th July 🌞
The next social run will be on Wednesday 15th July (NB this is instead of 8th July). Meet from 6:50pm at Brockley Brewery (Brockley site) and be ready to run a leisurely route from 7pm!
parkrun Takeover – Saturday 25th July 🌳
Our July takeover will be on 25th July at Beckenham Place (instead of the 11th, as the parkrun is cancelled next weekend). Feel free to wear your Kent vest! Post-run coffees in the courtyard.
SUPER SUTCLIFFE
As is now tradition for the first Thursday of the month over the summer, this week saw the fourth Assembly League fixture. Sutcliffe Park hosted for a fast and furious three lap course around the park. Our ladies team dominated, with Amelia Pettitt leading the charge home, followed by Alexa Parker, Aisling Ahern and Lin Skinner. Our men’s team had a tight tussle with the Cambridge Harriers team, with Calum Fraser first in for the team, followed by Joe Vis, Matt Speed and Dave Morgan. Thanks to everyone for coming out – see you next month in Victoria Park!

The Kent AC track pass continues to be required for training on Tues/Thurs evenings and Sunday mornings.
Track staff have encouraged people to double check the opening hours before their training session, as they may occasionally be closed for school sport days and football friendlies. Hours can be checked here. This will likely suit members who can’t make training sessions but would like to train in the morning/lunchtime/evening.
Pay as you go fees can either be paid via cash to the desk or using the Better app (note: staff are working to add the sessions to the app).
