  This section of the club is open to everyone over the age of 18. The senior section has a healthy and varied calendar of events right throughout the year. Apart from the usual races that people take part in throughout the year as part of their regular training patterns there are two aspects that are of particular interest firstly to every senior member and one that is of particular fun to the Vets within the club, essentially they are the Club Championships and the Southern Counties Veterans Athletics League, brief descriptions of both are included below.

Points are awarded for your position within the Amblers taking part. 30 points being the maximum, the remainder of the points are divided between the number of Amblers taking part.
