Athletics & Crosscountry

Keele Athletics and Cross Country Club is an inclusive and friendly club of athletes who partake in Track, Field, and Cross Country events.

Training

Sessions take place at the following times:

Tuesday (track and cross country training)  6:30-8:00pm

Wednesday (Long Run) Usually 1pm

Thursday (tracks and cross country training) 6:30-8.00pm

Training varies from interval sessions, Fartlek, Hill Training, Sprints and Road sessions.

We meet outside the sports centre before each session and either go on to the track or head over to the business loop.

Events

Throughout the year there are many opportunities to compete, there are various open meets and athletics competitions that are hosted by other universities that we plan to take part in as a club. The most well looked forward to events are the BUCS Cross Country, Indoor Athletics and Outdoor Athletics races. The BUCS events are fantastic experiences, and help us bond as a club. Following the Cross Country event there is a night out held by the host university. If you have an interest in partaking in rewarding events and having an amazing time in the evening, BUCS events are perfect for you! 

Socials

Our socials are every week on Wednesday, this could change throughout term, so make sure to join our Facebook, instagram or twitter page to stay in the loop! These socials include going to the SU for drinks and a boogie, but throughout the semesters we will have other opportunities to bond as a club. Possible socials include; Trampoline Park, Club Meals, Training Weekends, and lots more of exciting things. Keep your eyes peeled for more
