In September 2004 a small training group was set up in Clevedon which was attended by just four athletes and managed by two coaches. There was very little equipment, but plenty of enthusiasm and a desire to improve the opportunities for the young people of the area to take part in Track and Field athletics.

Within three years this training group had grown significantly and there are currently well over 250 young people supported by up to 15 coaches taking part in athletics. Club training sessions now take place in the evenings and weekends at Clevedon, Churchill and Nailsea.

During the summer of 2007 the club achieved affiliation status with UK Athletics and currently competes locally in the Avon Track and field and Gloucester and Gwent Cross Country Leagues.

The club is formally run by a committee and led by head coach Chris Millard. All the coaches employed by the club are UK Athletics qualified.

We welcome anyone who wishes to get involved in the thrill of athletics weather as a competitor, helper, coach or supporter, please feel free to make contact at a training event. The below link is a new starter letter which sets out to explain the set up of the club, and the linked Athletics Academy.
