Skipton Athletics Club

http://www.skiptonac.org

Skipton AC is a small athletics club based in Skipton. The club caters for athletes of all abilities and disciplines (typically road running and fell running as well as track and field events). The club is warm and friendly and welcomes new members. Please contact us if you have any questions or simply come along to one of our training sessions.

Senior Section 18+

Senior Section 18+


Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.00pm, Aireville swimming pool foyer Groups of runners of differing abilities participate in runs around the Skipton area. Some of the groups participate in road running, others in off-road runs (in the summer during the lighter evenings)

We currently have three groups going out on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 pm, meeting at Craven Swimming Pool. The groups do 3-4 miles, 4-5 miles and 6-8 miles with varying pace.

New runners are more than welcome regardless of pace. Most people find that running with others helps increase distance and pace without really thinking about it; it just happens to some degree. We'll make sure you have somebody to run with so that you don't get lost.

You will find the members warm and friendly, having a common aim of keeping fit as well as socialising (many members meet in the Narrow Boat pub in Skipton from about 9:00pm after the Thursday run)
