About Reigate Priory AC
Reigate Priory Athletic Club traces its beginnings to 1974, when John Hopkins coached a group of local children in sprints and jumps. Parents later began running too, developing the senior section. The club serves Reigate and Redhill in Surrey, England; its name refers to Priory Park, and its history distinguishes these beginnings from affiliation around 1976.
Senior training includes runs from Battlebridge, track sessions at Battlebridge or K2, and routes around Reigate and Redhill. Saturday walking and running groups use Priory Park. Juniors have their own coaching and academy arrangements. Volunteer-organised events include the Summer Evening 10K and Priory Relays; the historical Holly Run ended after its 2022 edition.
New senior and junior participants can apply for a month's trial through the linked membership system. Some junior groups are oversubscribed, so places may involve a waiting list. Contact the membership team or junior coordinator before assuming a space is available. Coaching, event volunteering and social activities offer ways to contribute beyond racing.
