Invicta East Kent AC

Canterbury

Invicta East Kent AC is an amalgamation of two historic clubs, East Kent AC and Invicta AC, formed in 1969. The club has a strong reputation for middle and long-distance running, with recent success in sprints, hurdles, and multi-events. With over 380 members across all age groups, Invicta East Kent AC competes in a variety of regional and national leagues and supports the British Milers' Club. The club is based at a modern facility with a six-lane all-weather track, indoor sports hall, and gym, which they helped develop in 2000.

Jelly Legs Running Club is an England Athletics affiliated club that provides a welcoming, social, and non-competitive environment for runners of all fitness levels, ages, and abilities in the East Kent region. Formed 6 years ago, the club now has over 250 members across three different locations and is led by highly trained and qualified coaches. Members have found the club to be life-changing, helping them achieve personal goals like weight loss, improved fitness, and better mental health. The club organizes group running sessions in Canterbury, Deal, and Whitstable (currently on hold due to injury), catering to runners of all abilities from beginner to intermediate level.
