History....
1911 The Foundation - birth of the Centurions
Between 1902 and the Centurions foundation in 1911, walking as an (amateur) athletic sport had become established. At the inaugural Centurion’s meeting, James Edwin Fowler-Dixon was accorded the number “1” in 1877 and was elected the first President of the Centurions.
