Blackheath & Bromley Harriers AC

One of Britain's oldest clubs, still flying

🏃 Bromley Weekly Track Competitive Marathon training

We trace back to 1869 as Peckham Hare and Hounds, which makes us one of the most successful athletics clubs in the country - and we're now home at Norman Park in Bromley.

The Norman Park Community Sports Centre is properly kitted out: indoor track, weights room, physio on site. We span the full range from beginners to internationals - our senior teams compete in the top tier of the National Athletics League, and sprinter Dina Asher-Smith is one of ours. Track and field, cross country, road: it's all here, run by volunteers who love the place.

Serious about athletics, but still glad to see a newcomer walk in.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Liam Carver · 17 June 2026 Burnout took me apart. A beginner running club is how I put myself back together. I pushed myself until I broke, then sat at home ashamed and flat. Learning to run slowly, with no one keeping score, taught me that showing up gently beats winning. Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax. Claire Donnelly · 7 June 2026 I sat silent at book club for months. Finding my voice there changed my whole life. I'd spent my whole life letting other people's opinions fill the room. A monthly book club, and one patient question, taught me that mine mattered too.
