Track & Field

We do most of our track sessions either at the John Wright Sports Centre in East Kilbride or the Emirates Arena, Glasgow. Our training can cater for most track events from 60m through to the 10,000m, plus the long jump and shot putt. We encourage our members to compete in both club and external competitions suitable to their age, experience and level of fitness

Road Running

Our road running is done mainly in and around Larkhall and we also do trail running and hill sessions in nearby Chatelherault Country Park. We have a long and well established annual Road Race Championships, which consists of four races held over the winter months. Indeed, two of the races are run over courses that haven’t been altered in over 60 years. We also encourage members to take part in external events commensurate with their age, experience and level of fitness

Cross County

You're not getting away with it! In the winter we run through the mud! Our Cross Country season is tough but rewarding, providing great workouts and races at various venues throughout central Scotland. We hold training sessions in nearby Chatelherault County Park and we designate a Scottish Athletics permitted race as our Cross Country Championship Race each year. 

JogScotland

JogScotland Larkhall is our beginer specific group which runs a Couch to 5K program twice per year. We'll build you up slowly strarting with runs of only 60 seconds at a time and by the end of the 12 week program you will be running for up to 30 minuets without stopping! This is a great way get your start in running or come back to the sport if you havent run in years. Once complete, you'll be invited to run with our senior section!
