Formed in March 1984, the Lewes AC has grown steadily in numbers and stature and has a nucleus of qualified coaches.
Logo
Peter Randall-Page’s beautiful “Ammonite” statue on the picturesque Lewes side of the Cuilfail tunnel inspired Lewes AC’s distinctive logo.
Membership
We welcome athletes of all abilities, from beginners to those aiming to compete.
Our Club is open to young athletes aged 9 to seniors and veterans of any age.
Facilities
Club members enjoy free access to our all-weather 400-metre track on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, as well as during Saturday morning club sessions.
But there’s even more! The Club also provides access to additional facilities at Priory School and the Leisure Centre, including a sports hall, gymnasium, projectile hall, fitness centre, swimming pool, and more as needed.
Making the most from your membership
As a member of Lewes Athletic Club, you can participate in a wide variety of events and activities.
Our members tell us that representing Lewes not only gives them a sense of achievement but is also fun. They enjoy the community spirit and the many friendships formed.
Regular events and activities include cross-country running, track and field events, leagues and championships, road running, fun running, jogging, fitness sessions, and social activities.
Coaching is available for all age groups, ensuring everyone can benefit from our expert guidance.
Our Junior Academy offers tailored coaching for young athletes aged 9 to 14, fostering their growth and development.
We take pride in our young members’ enthusiasm and dedication to competing for the Club. Due to our high demand and long waiting list, we prioritise active participation and encourage our young athletes to embrace opportunities to represent the Club and contribute to its success.
Regular fun, social, challenging, and rewarding events include a 10K run on Easter Monday, supported by shorter events, and a long weekend of running in France with our twinned Club at Marolles, located just outside Blois.
Lewes AC also arranges a Club triathlon and barbecue in June, an aquathlon in the summer, 10-mile and 5-mile Sussex Downland Trail runs in October, and a cross-country event early in the year.
