Surrey Walking Club

The next club race is the 5 km on the 18th November and the next club stroll is on Saturday 19th August with Keith Lane as Conductor

Welcome to the Surrey Walking Club. The Club was originally formed in 1899 as a race walking club. We are still involved in race walking but we now promote a range of walking related activities including ultra distance walking and we have our own successful long distance social walking section known as the Strollers.

Saturday 18th November at Tonbridge Track over 5 km (Xmas cup) starting at 1: PM. Click here for more details
