Join Team Bath AC
Team Bath AC is a club for everyone, regardless of ability. Whether you are an experienced athlete looking to compete in an array of events, or a beginner who is interested in enjoying running and getting fit, Team Bath AC is the best place for you to achieve these goals. We would be delighted to welcome you!
We offer new members a free of charge taster session so you can come along and experience the training session before you commit to joining. Unfortunately, it is not possible just to turn up and train on the night as we need to ensure that you are allocated to the most suitable training group. So if you are interested in Track & Field Activities or Road & Cross-Country Endurance Running please email Lucie at admin@teambathac.org to arrange a free trial session.
