Local parkruns:
Every Saturday at 9am you can lace up to run, walk or jog a parkrun (5k). You’ll often see familiar club faces gathering at the start, along the course as volunteers, and at the post-parkrun café for a cuppa and cake. Our local ones are:

Porthcawl
Maesteg

Membership benefits

Naturally you’ll expect quality coaching as part of being in an athletics club. Ditto the chance to train and compete with club mates (they can become your most loved rivals). Here’s some of the behind-the-scenes stuff you’ll also get:

  • Club sessions twice a week

  • Free entry into some competitions – track and cross country

  • Automatic registration with Welsh Athletics

  • £2 off road races (you’ll often see it as an ‘affiliated entry’)

  • Entry into our draw for a place at the London Marathon (seniors only for this one)

  • Discounts at specialist athletics shops

We compete in the wide range of running and athletics events locally and nationally.

Senior fees
£50 a year

 

Club kit

You’ve joined #TeamBridgendAC. Good choice.

As a fully paid-up member of Bridgend AC, you’ll need to get your hands on a club vest. Maybe we can tempt you to kit yourself out in club colours for training too.

Take your pick from our club kit. If you’re not sure about the fit, let us know, we’ll be able to help suggest the best size.

BONUS KIT

If you want a change, or to save your club kit for competition days, you can also get 30% off More Mile – we’ll let you know the code each month.

Volunteers

Our club relies on volunteers to keep it running. It’s a bit of give and take – you donate your time, and you’ll get something out of it too. We promise it’s much more than standing with a stopwatch in the great British weather. If you want to join our volunteers, get in touch.

“The Monday and Thursday club sessions get my legs moving faster than any solo efforts would. And they come with the bonus of good company, plus chatter between reps – if I’m not gasping for breath.”

Leigh James

“Bridgend AC is a great club, I'm into my 3rd season. The members made me feel very welcome from my first ever training session. Coaches accommodate every level and treat everyone the same, with very friendly faces. I’m looking forward to the season ahead.”

Lloyd Manning-James

“I Joined Bridgend AC as a slightly intrepid 40-something runner in 2014. An abundance of encouragement and advice from coaches and fellow athletes has helped me progress over the years. But even more important to me has been the many great friendships I’ve made in this very sociable and welcoming club.”
