About Ilford AC
Ilford Athletic Club was founded in 1923 and supports track and field, road running, cross-country and race walking in east London, England. Coaching extends from younger children through senior and veteran competition, while its Harriers section provides an entry point for adult beginners.
The club trains at Cricklefields Athletic Stadium behind Isaac Newton Academy in Ilford. A separate clubhouse at 88 Lambourne Road, Chigwell Row, serves as its road-running and cross-country headquarters. These are distinct facilities, so newcomers should check which location applies to their session rather than treating either as the start for every club activity.
Prospective members are asked to contact the club before trying a session. Children aged eight to fourteen begin through the Junior Development Group, where they are assessed and directed towards a suitable group. The joining page provides a membership form and explains the available categories, while the contact page routes enquiries to general, membership, junior and endurance roles.
Established 1923
