Help us to build our women’s teams

We are currently on a mission to encourage more senior women into the Club to join our exciting next generation of Under 17 and Under 20 Women, competing on the track, over cross country and on the road.

Our senior men’s teams are really making waves, especially in middle distance, and it is time to build our women’s squads to match! So if you are female and aged 20-35 we would love to hear from you.

Maybe you are a club runner who has just moved to the area, or a regular park runner. Perhaps you enjoyed athletics at school but have been too busy studying or working to take up where you left off – well now is your time.

Just fill in this form and one of our coaches will be in touch to invite you along to meet everyone. We look forward to seeing you at Wimbledon Park!

New lease of life for the track at Wimbledon Park

A huge thank you to the London Borough of Merton (LBM), England Athletics, our local councillors and MPs, Club members and everyone who supported our campaign for much needed repair work to be carried out on the track at Wimbledon Park.

Ours is the only athletics stadium in the Borough, and a key London venue, attracting athletes and clubs from all over the country to compete. However the track is now over 30 years old, and was being seriously undermined by the roots of the surrounding poplar trees.

As a result of our campaign, LBM agreed to fund the repairs, and with the help of contributions from the Club and England Athletics, the work has been completed and the track has been deep-cleaned and re-marked. This will give it a new lease of life for a few more years while the longer-term plan to refurbish the stadium can take shape.
