David Devlin
Started running in 2014, in my mid 40’s, just trying to get fit. I then discovered parkrun and later that year found Kent AC. It was great to find out that the club facilitated all levels and I still enjoy training with the C group. I have, to date, run six marathons in the Kent AC vest and love the buzz of “racing” as part of such a great club.

AP – I’m fairly new to the club joining in 2019, although I have been a runner since the age of 9. I joined Kent AC when I moved to South East London last year and I have loved being part of the community. I’m very much suited to longer distance and cross country running, having taken part in various local club level events as well as international competitions. I have many running ambitions including stepping up to marathon distance. I am very grateful to be part of the fantastic environment Kent AC provides to help me achieve my goals and I am passionate about supporting other club members to help them achieve their goals too.

I started running more seriously when I went to university, discovering cross country and track for the first time. Since then my passion for running and racing has only grown, having been a member of Kent AC since 2017. I now train with the A Group targeting middle distance in the summer and cross country in the winter.

Sarah Hanley
I joined the club as a long distance runner in 2016 with the lofty ambition to run New York Marathon and wanted to join the best club in South East London in order to get to the start line in one piece. Having ran in school and for a while at university in Birmingham, I had a rough idea of what I was doing but was quickly whipped into shape in the B group sessions. Alongside my fiancé, we made lots of new friends and got into the habit of regular running on track nights and have enjoyed racing regularly for the club since then! I have enjoyed many successes since joining Kent AC and have smashed my best times from 3km up to marathon since joining and have to say a big thank you to Pete Boxshall for keeping me on the straight and narrow!
