02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Musselburgh and District Athletic Club is a community club open to adult runners and juniors who want to train and compete in athletics events. We welcome new members regardless of age or ability. Junior members have the opportunity to take part in a range of athletics events – jumps, sprints, hurdles, distance running and throws. Adult members concentrate on long distance running and members enter events ranging in distance from 5km to ultra-marathons. The Club also welcomes members who just enjoy athletics and running and prefer to run socially. The club is affiliated to and accredited by Scottish Athletics. All sessions are organised by trained coaches who are supported by volunteers. We offer opportunities for members to train as coaches and also there is a pathway open to Junior athletes allowing them to progress their careers.
