Join our Athletics club

NTU Athletics is a large club with groups in Sprint, Distance and Field which welcomes all abilities, beginners and intermediate runners.

We hold training sessions for all groups every Tuesday and Thursday at The Harvey Hadden Sports Village which is led by both coaches and captains.

We also have opportunities for fitness and circuit training throughout the year, and further opportunities to take part in The North Midlands Cross Country League, BUCS (Cross Country, Indoors and Outdoors), Half Marathons and loads more athletics events across the year.

NTU Athletics is an incredible club to be a part of. I feel incredibly fortunate to have made such amazing friends and to have the opportunity to complete a Marathon, something I wouldn't have been able to achieve before.

There is also excellent local provisions in which we participate in as a club i.e. Parkrun. This is a 5km run which is free to enter and is held at 09:00 every Saturday morning. Forest Rec Parkrun is a 10 minute walk from the City Campus and the course loops around the recreation ground. Clifton Parkrun is also a 15 minute walk from Clifton Campus for those living on Clifton. Parkrun is an incredible gateway into running for beginners because you can run at your own pace and be surrounded by runners of a similar ability.

There will also be opportunities throughout the year for fitness and circuit training for all groups.
