About Hillingdon Athletic Club
Hillingdon Athletic Club (HAC) is an established, local club that can trace its roots all the way back to 1877. Over its long history, the Club has produced many international athletes and past Olympians.
Today the club has around 400 members of whom almost half are under 18 years old. Our best young athletes compete each year at the English Schools Track and Field Championships.
We are affiliated to UK Athletics (through England Athletics), the South of England AA and to Middlesex County AA.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming organisation, striving to provide track, field, road and cross-country competition for all ages and abilities. We embrace diversity and difference and are committed to providing opportunities that are safe, inclusive, accessible, and equitable.
The objective of Hillingdon AC is;
To give every member the opportunity to train and participate at his and her best level, in a professional and happy environment and be recognised locally as such a club

Management, governance and safeguarding
To help ensure appropriate levels of governance and duty of care, HAC has adopted England Athletic’s Club Standards. This means we are a democratic organisation with a written constitution and policies. We have an embedded management and governance structure led by a dedicated Management Committee. Club accounts are presented at each AGM by the Treasurer and are independently audited.
A key priority for the Club is ensuring coaches and officials hold appropriate England Athletics qualifications and have completed DBS checks, as well as safeguarding and first aid training.
Ruislip Clubhouse
Our Club is fortunate to own its clubhouse. Built in 1976 the clubhouse boasts a well-equipped gym and a newly refurbished bar and kitchen. Training groups of various ages and abilities operate from the clubhouse five days a week.
Examples of activities organised from the clubhouse include an annual Road Race, the ‘Hillingdon 20’, a Christmas Day road race, a New Year’s Day relay and a monthly Summer Series 5k which runs from April to September each year. A range of social events are also hosted throughout the year, including Junior and Senior Presentation evenings, post-race socials and a New Year’s Eve Party.
