Welcome to Beeston Athletic Club

Would you like to try out running with a local, friendly running club? Beeston AC is a growing club (currently numbering over 200), whose members participate in road, cross-country and fell running. As well as running together we like to socialise together. The Club runs five times a week including a hill or speed session, tempo and steady runs as well as a longer trail run.

Running as a group we generally stay together and always support newer and slower members.

 

Tuesdays: speed work or hill work featuring intervals, track and pyramid sessions. Location varies according to time of year and type of session. Details are in the weekly e-mail and / or Facebook.
