Ladies can compete as veterans from 35, Men from 40. Age groups span 5 year bands. The club has had considerable success nationally in road running and cross country events and boasts two supervet English cross country internationals. It also boasts individual National Champions on the track both indoors and outdoors. 

COACHING
This is vital if all the effort you put into training is going to result in success. The Club is lucky to have 10 coaches. They attend most of the Club's Training sessions and are always happy to assist the keen athlete. Most have their own event speciality e.g. Throws, Long Distance or Sprints. Either ask at the track or contact the Coaching, Co-ordinator for details of the coach most suited to your needs. The Club is also keen to encourage parents and 'older' athletes to take up coaching. Anyone interested should contact the Coaching, Co-ordinator for details of courses and general information on what is involved.
