About Us
Welcome to the Worcester Athletics Club. The club started in 1937 as a running club known as the Worcester Harriers, but in 1966/67 the club became Worcester Athletic Club and covered all types of athletics from Road Running, Track, Cross Country, Race Walking, Field Events and Disabled Athletics. Members range from 9 to over 80, Boys, Girls, Juniors, Men and Women all enjoy being members. We have coaches that are only too willing to give advice and pleased to welcome all standards from beginners to top class athletes. We would be delighted if you came and joined us at Nunnery Wood Sports Centre, Worcester, 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. Training runs also take place on Sunday mornings. There are many benefits to be gained from being a member of an affiliated athletic club.
