Welcome to Edinburgh Athletic Club
We hope the website can provide you with all the information you might need but you can always message us through the contact page or our social channels
For ALL competitions it is compulsory for every athlete to wear an Edinburgh AC club vest. You can order kit from our online shop
Training
Our home track and training facility is Meadowbank Stadium. Athletes attending these sessions will receive relevant information from the coaches, working with these groups. Please pay particular attention to Track Etiquette. Coaches will go over this with you on induction.
The main track and field club nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays for junior athletes where all events are catered for. On a Wednesday we have the indoor track only which is mainly attended by senior athletes or junior at the request of their coach.
Please do not move from coach to coach without prior discussion with your current coach. When coming to training remember to wear suitable clothing, footwear and bring plenty of non-fizzy water.
Coaching
All our club coaches are unpaid volunteers governed by Scottish Athletics who attend Athletics Coaching Courses to obtain a UKA coach licence which is a statutory requirement.
The club fully supports coaches who wish to progress through the coaching qualifications.
Coaches & helpers are actively encouraged to attend courses, workshops, development days and Regional and National Squad training sessions as appropriate. All qualified coaches have been disclosed by the PVG Registration scheme (Disclosure Scotland).
Competitions
We love athletes to attend regular training and encourage them to compete when selected for a team and to enter open graded events and championships as appropriate.
We try to keep a schedule of all the signature leagues and events we compete in on our dedicated competitions page but there are many other races to try out too.
