Thank you to all club members who have paid club membership and England Athletics affiliation so far! But there's still a few active members who are outstanding. I'd be very grateful if memberships could be completed by the end of May latest. After this date any unpaid EA affiliations will lapse, and importantly, if you are a coach your licence will not be valid. If any one has issues renewing their membership, please message me via the Contacts page.

Please extend a warm welcome to new club member Julie Bryant.

Weston run rings around Glastonbury

Sunday’s record breaking temperatures were great news for most, but not so much for the two dozen Weston Athletic Club runners taking on the annual ‘Round the Tor’ 10k road race at Glastonbury.

A staggering 71 runners from Weston Athletic Club completed last week’s five mile prom run, with their distinctive yellow vests making up over a quarter of the field.
