History
The origins of the club came from two other clubs in Cambridge; the Cambridge City Athletic Club and the Coleridge Athletic Club. The two clubs merged in 1961 to form the club that exists today.[3]
The club were based at a University owned track on Milton Road,[4] which had been built in 1958 and was demolished in 1996.[5] The club then followed the Cambridge University AC to its new track on Wilberforce Road.
