University of Portsmouth Athletics Club

The University of Portsmouth Athletics Club is a friendly, welcoming club to join that caters for all level of athlete. If you're a County Champion or you just want to get fit, we'll have something to offer you. 

The team regularly meets throughout the week for training sessions both indoors and outside. We offer unique training schedules that include track training, runs on the sea-front and common and sessions over cross-country to make use of the natural landscape of Portsmouth and the local area. 

You can find more details of when and where the Club's training sessions are on the Training page.

The team enters into regular competitions throughout the year, including BUCS (British University & Colleges Sports) events, cross-country, road races, team relays and track and field meetings. If you know of any other events you think the club should enter contact us and we will give them consideration. 

The club is also traditionally one of the best value for money clubs at the University of Portsmouth, charging one of the lowest membership fees of all the clubs in the Athletic Union. If you are not a member but are interested in joining the Club, you are welcome to attend a training session as a taster.

The Club also holds regular social events that aren't to be missed if you want to get to know the rest of the team. Random and traditionally themed Wednesday socials  make sure of a good time in one of the cheapest and best cities in the Country!
