Doncaster Athletic Club

Based near the Yorkshire Outlet and Keepmoat stadium Doncaster Athletic Club is a fairly new club and has a very good conditioned track which is also new. Before this was built as part of the keepmoat stadium million pound project Doncaster Athletics was split up into many different clubs with Hexthorpe and Stainforth being the higher level ones and some still refer to the club as Doncaster and Stainforth. Since most of these clubs has formed as one it has become a very large club and at a good standard competing in many county and town competitions like the northern young athletes league and with some people even being at national levels thanks to the great coaching there. Training nights are held mainly on a Tuesday and Thursday with some of the better standard athletes training and competing on other nights too. This club has lots of members and non members adding up to at least 500 athletes which shows how popular the club is. Before this was opened not many people even new that there were tracks in Doncaster so this has brought people together and made friendships as well as encourage people from 8 and upwards to keep fit and enjoy the sport which has happened to many of Doncaster. All the sessions down at the track are very different as they compete in multi-eventing competitions so there are a mixture of field, sprinting and distance running going on there. Since this has been created the club has grown massively and improved rapidly just from a big bunch of volunteers helping run the place but thanks to all of them Doncaster Athletic Club is an extremely successful club so the investment has paid off.
