About Us

Trafford Athletic Club (previously Stretford Athletic Club) was founded by a group of enthusiasts a year after the completion of the Longford Park Stadium in 1964.

During its relatively short history the club has become one of the top UK clubs with over 100 athlete members having competed at international level and a number at major events including the Commonwealth games, European championships, World championships or the Olympics.

Past athletes include:
  • Christine Bell
  • Sharon Colyear
  • Paula Dunn
  • Donna Hartley
  • Shirley Strong
  • Christine Benning
  • Jane Parry
  • Andy Carter
  • Barrie Williams
  • Chris Rawlinson
  • Andrew Steele

Many of Trafford's success stories have been the product of the clubs in-house coaching system.
The club is able to cater for the needs of all age groups and abilities.
