ABOUT US
We are a friendly club that organises and participates in local and national athletics events.
Our members are a wide range of ages, with a variety of running interests.
We welcome new members of all abilities. Whether you simply want to run for fun, lose weight, maintain or improve your fitness level or train to take part in organised events; we offer a supportive and friendly atmosphere to help you reach your goals.
Membership & Prices
Our run groups cater to all levels of runners, from beginners to experienced athletes. We usually offer different distance options to accommodate various fitness levels and training goals. Whether you prefer a short and leisurely jog or a faster, more challenging run, there will be something for you.
The pace is typically set by the participants, allowing everyone to find a comfortable speed. Ideally, you need to be able to run a minimum of 8k without stopping.
We offer 2 ‘free sessions’ before we ask you to join formally. If it's your first time running with us message us via facebook or the contact form here.
Droitwich Athletics Club is affiliated to England Athletics (EA). As a club member you will be eligible for reduced EA-affiliated rates at many running events.
A NOTE ON OUR JUNIORS TRAINING (UPDATED 25TH MARCH 2026)
At the moment we cannot restart our Juniors evenings as we do not have enough qualified adults to run the sessions. We need England Athletics (EA) level 2 coaches and level 1 coaching assistants. We need two trained adults with each group of juniors. At the moment there are two people undergoing training. We are asking other club members to undertake the EA training.
If anyone reading this would be willing to undergo the training to become a coaching assistant, please send an email to droitwichathleticsclub@gmail.com for the attention of Peter and Will.
We may be able to start a very limited training programme around the start of May. We will keep you posted on this website.
An additional insurance point from England Athletics is that we cannot have an juniors who are not eight years old or older.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment that this will cause. When we do restart we will be ensuring that we are fully up to date with coaching, safeguarding, first aid and insurance.
