Jun 052013
Orion Forest Five – ELVIS Race 2 On a fine Saturday morning over 230 entrants gathered for this five mile off-road race through Epping Forest, the second round of the East London Interclub five Series (ELVIS). Ilford AC put out a team of 23 and had a highly successful morning sweeping the team awards and winning four individual trophies.

FOUR IN A ROW – AND IT’S GETS BETTER! Ilford AC sent a strong squad to the annual Moulton 5 Miles Walk on a testing “out-and-back” in rural Suffolk countryside north east of Newmarket.

Indeed he closed gap but the Ilford man’s early efforts proved too much for the Welshman to make inroads and …Read More
Press Report – Dagenham 88 5k – Elvis Leg1
Jun 052013
A massive turnout of 29 runners from Ilford Athletic club stormed the trails of Eastbrook End Country Park on Wednesday evening over a 5k course comprising 3 laps set by host club Dagenham 88 Runners. At least I counted 29 going out but only 27 came back – poor ol’ Frank got shot down, and Kevin W was still awaiting his Ilford wings. Despite a titanic dogfight with local rivals East London Runners in both the mens and women’s races, it was the Ilford Club who eventually emerged victorious. Even the cunningly disguised plan hatched by the Muir siblings, Malcolm and Carol, to gain the women’s team some extra points proved unnecessary as “The Ilford” dominated the skies in the …Read More
