The Kent County Athletics Association
The area over which the association is responsible for athletics is
considerably wider than the geographical county of Kent. Broadly
speaking the inner London Boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham and the
outer Boroughs of Bexley and Bromley are also included. (For
more details follow this link to affiliated clubs)
The association was formed in September 1990 by the amalgamation of
the Men’s Association, founded in 1920, and the Women's Association,
founded in 1946. Both associations were flourishing at the time of
amalgamation and had shared their main Track and Field championships for
many years. Since the amalgamation the association has maintained the
high standards previously achieved. (For

A full programme of championships are held for all age groups from
under 13 to Masters over 70 at distances of 60 metres (indoors) to
10,000 metres (on track or on road) to Marathon and including all field
events, combined events, walking events and cross country championships.
For the younger competitors we run a winter series of Sportshall
meetings with its own annual championships. We have a large body of
Technical officials from the highest level to those just starting to
progress. We have a good relationship with the Kent Schools Association
with much mutual help. (For more details

Within the County we have two English Athletics sponsored development
Networks; one covering the London Boroughs, the other the postal county
of Kent. These were launched in 2010 and we are seeking to develop good
working relationships with them. (For more

In the past we have had athletes of the calibre of Steve Backley,
Dame Kelly Holmes, Frank Sando & Sydney Wooderson representing us and
currently our excellent members achievements are led by Grace Clements &
Martin Brockman in the 2010 Commonwealth Games Combined Events and
Natalie Gray, Andrew Combs & Robbie Farnham-Rose in the 2010 European
Cross Country Championships. (For more

The Association is managed by a Council which meets
4 times a year and is elected by the clubs associated with KCAA. The
council appoints Sub committees to look after each area of activity and
an Executive committee to take forward the work of the association.
