About
Athletics Club members are a friendly bunch who meet each week for Club training sessions
Monday 18:00 Thames Valley Athletic Centre at Eton for Track & Field sessions
Wednesday 18:00 Concorde Centre
The prime activity on Wednesday Night is a Club run, followed by a retreat to the non-smoking section of the bar. Special Wednesday Night social evenings are also arranged where food is available. The club run commences at 6.00pm and there are always runners of your ability to accompany, setting out on short jogs up to marathon training. Just make yourself known to one of the assembled horde, and someone will be happy to run with you.
Once a month we partake in a "Club in House Event", usually a novelty event designed to give all standards an opportunity to get involved, but still test the mettle or our elite five minute milers. This might take the form of a hash, Parlauf, handicap event or other fiendish scheme.
Each month a group of runners travels to enter the "Run of the Month", which may be as local as the Hillingdon Half Marathon or as distant as a race in Hood To Coast, Portland, Oregon. The highlight of the year is the World airline Road race, held this year in Amsterdam, Netherlands in September.
The club has wider interests than just road running. Each winter, a few hardy souls trudge through the mud and ice in the cross Country League. We have a thriving triathlon group (including one octogenarian), who travel the world reciting the mantra "swim/run/bike" before every event. These people are really fit!
