Welcome to
Bury Athletic Club
Based at the track on Market Street, Bury (opposite Bury College), Bury Athletic Club is a friendly but competitive nationally ranked athletics club with teams and individuals competing at all levels in the sport. We are a registered charity (number 1193322) run entirely by volunteers who give generously of their time to coach, officiate and support our members. We can provide you the opportunity to train and compete at whatever level you choose. We offer a fun running section for seniors, but we do require that juniors commit to competing for the club.
You can be part of a friendly athletics club with all members enjoying taking part in a sport that provides the chance for everyone to find the event that suits them best. We are always looking for new volunteers to join our brilliant group of coaches, officials and helpers to make athletics available to people in Bury and surrounding areas.
