Victoria Park Harriers & Tower Hamlets Ac Description
We're a very friendly athletics club based in Victoria Park, east London. We have a diverse membership, from absolute beginners to world-class athletes. We also have members who specialise in coaching, officiating and timekeeping.
Why join us?
Running is a great way to keep fit. It's even better when you're part of a running community that motivates, supports and socialises. We also provide you with competitive opportunities, if you want them. And you can try us out absolutely free for two weeks before committing.
How to join

If you're interested in track and field, simply turn up at Mile End Stadium on a Tuesday or Thursday at 6: 30pm. Ask to speak to one of the VPH and TH AC coaches who'll advise you with which group to train.
If you're interested in joining to get involved more on the organisational side, then email membership@vphthac.org. uk.
Apply online after your two week free trial if you are aged 17 and over.
