Essex Relay Championships 2026

What a day for SS Athletics!

Our athletes showed incredible teamwork, determination and club spirit across the track, with an amazing 21 relay teams competing and 11 teams reaching the 4×100 finals.

🏅 8 Essex Championship medals
🥇 2 Gold
🥈 2 Silver
🥉 4 Bronze

From explosive sprint relays to gutsy middle-distance performances, every athlete gave everything for their team. Relay racing is all about trust, teamwork and delivering for each other – and that’s exactly what our athletes did.

A huge congratulations to every runner, our coaches, officials, volunteers and the families cheering from the sidelines. We’re incredibly proud of every single one of you.

Our toughest match of the season so far... and we couldn’t be prouder.

A huge well done to every athlete who competed at Hornchurch on Sunday. You gave everything, supported one another, and represented SSA with determination, resilience and incredible team spirit.

Seeing athletes cheering each other on, parents encouraging every competitor, and coaches working together is exactly what our club is all about.

To finish just shy of our team points PB against such strong opposition is a fantastic achievement and shows just how far we’ve come in such a short time in the league. Every point mattered. Every event counted. Every athlete played their part.

Whether you came away with a PB, stepped up to try a new event, or simply gave your all for the team, you made a difference.

A huge thank you to our athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and supporters who made the day such a positive one.

We’re so proud of every single one of you.

On to EYAL Match 4... let’s do it all again! 💙❤️

Two clubs. One vision.

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with Leigh-on-Sea Striders (LOSS) that will see us join the Southern Athletics League (SAL).

This is a huge step forward for our club and, most importantly, for our older athletes.

By joining the SAL, we’re creating more opportunities for athletes to continue their journey beyond the junior ranks, representing SSA in team competition and competing regularly against clubs from across the South.

Partnering with LOSS allows us to build a stronger senior team while maintaining the welcoming, supportive club environment that makes both clubs special.

This partnership is about creating a clear pathway from junior athletics right through to senior competition so our athletes can continue to develop, compete and thrive.

We’re incredibly excited about what this means for the future of both clubs and can’t wait to get started in the Southern Athletics League.

If you’re an athlete looking for a club with opportunities to compete, develop and be part of a fantastic team, we’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to an exciting new chapter for SSA and LOSS!

A new partnership is coming...
