We provide training and qualified coaching with opportunities to compete in local, regional and national level competitions. We compete in track and field athletics, road running, race walking and cross country races. There are teams dedicated to young athletes, junior, senior and masters athletes.

New members are always welcome, we offer a special introduction period so you can see what we offer before deciding whether to join as a full member.
