As a club we have been established for 100 years and in that time we have produced many notable athletes some of whom I have had the privilege and honour of knowing. However, our club is not only about high achievers, we have also provided the opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy good health and fitness through running and athletics.

Ours is a friendly club with a good social atmosphere and members varying in age from 8 through to 80 plus. We have a thriving junior section, overseen by a group of dedicated coaches and parents and, at the other end of the scale, our veteran runners who are outstanding in their ability and enthusiasm. Many people think you have to be ‘good’ to join a running club. This could not be further from the truth, East Cheshire Harriers and Tameside Athletic Club is for all abilities and membership is open to everyone regardless of age, sex, colour, race or religion. If you want to compete there are road, fell, cross country and track and field events but if you want to run simply for health and fitness that is fine.

We look forward to welcoming you to our family and helping you to enjoy your athletic involvement.
