GB 0074 ACC/2677 1888-1986 Collection 4.5 linear metres Polytechnic Harriers , cross country running and athletics club

The inaugural meeting of the Polytechnic Harriers was held on September 5 1883 and from the beginning it was closely associated with the Polytechnic, Regent Street, founded by Quintin Hogg. Until 1886 the club concentrated purely on cross country running but quickly gained an international reputation for the high standard achieved by its members in all athletic disciplines. In 1975 the Harriers merged with Kingston AC and there is now little contact with the Polytechnic of Central London from which it originated.

Records deposited in March 1989.

In addition to this they provide an interesting insight into how athletics has developed over the last one hundred years.
