Founded in 1949, we are a small, friendly, volunteer-run club based in the market town of Kendal in South Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District. We are proud to hold Sport England’s Clubmark Accreditation, a kitemark of quality that recognises the high standards in how we run our club, particularly regarding our junior section.
We participate in track & field, cross country, and road running – from local events to national championships, including county and regional competitions. We promote and organise various events for both juniors and adults, from beginners to seasoned athletes, and offer opportunities for members to train as coaches and/or athletics officials. We cater for all levels of experience and provide coaching across all disciplines.
All ages and abilities are welcome. If your talents lie in the administrative side of athletics, we also have plenty of volunteering opportunities available – please get in touch!


Hi,
I am moving home to Kendal in August and looking for a running club, for fell running in particular.
What’s the best way for me to come and check out Kendal AAC?
Thanks

Hi Greg. Club Training night in Summer is Tuesdays at Queen Katherine School.
We have a facebook group ‘Kendal AC Training Group’, non-members can join, there you’ll see what we get up to.
The Wednesday night Summer Fell runs are on the Fell page of the Web site.
