ABOUT US
Our club is a competitive and inclusive sports team who train at Woodburn Road Athletics Track, The English Institute of Sport Indoor Track and at local parks near the university.
We have the pleasure of hosting the Indoor BUCS Championships and Steel Cup, allowing us to maximise spectators and the atmosphere, showing some of the best team spirit, support, and camaraderie of any university.
At the outdoor champs in Manchester this year, our women had our most successful overall team performance since 1939, placing 6th out of all competing universities. We’ve had great success with relays over the last few years and this year had a record number of sign-ups for the championships and the maximum number of athletes being entered into almost every track, and most field events.
We were awarded ‘Most Improved Club’ and ‘Best Coach of the Year’ this season. This year we aim to build on our BUCS performances, have more charity events and a range of socials.
From fun and inclusive social runs to a fixed training schedule, there’s something for everyone.
Join us in our build to become one of the university’s best sports team this academic year!
