⭐️⭐️Athlete of the Week⭐⭐

This week, our guest Sam Drake awarded Joseph the Athlete of the Week, which Ash and I both agreed with.

Joseph's remarkable consistency in effort and attitude went up another gear yesterday evening, scoring an impressive 10.5 on the Bleep Test, then maintaining that effort on the 350m relays.
To put that into context, Joseph surpassed the required bleep test scores for both the police and fire service!

Well done, Joseph, we're looking forward to seeing you putting all your hard work in training into practise in the imminent XC season. 💪🏻

⭐️⭐️Athlete of the Week⭐️⭐️ 06/10/26

Yesterday's Athlete of the Week was awarded to Maisie.

Consistently polite, listening to coaches instructions, and without fail always putting 100% into her training, Maisie again smashed it last night in tricky conditions.

She scored an impressive 5.6 on the Bleep Test which, for context, puts her above the required fitness standard to join the police!
She then went on to put in impressive repeat 350m laps for the relays.

Very well done, Maisie, we're looking forward to seeing you put your hard work in training into practise throughout the forthcoming XC season. 💪🏻

🎉🎉Athlete of the Week, Phoebe 🎉🎉 29/09/26

This week’s Development Group Athlete of the Week is Phoebe.

Having only recently moved up from the Fundamentals Group, Phoebe has already shown just how capable she is. Although she can be a little shy and quiet, that certainly doesn’t stop her from getting stuck in and performing extremely well.

Over the last few weeks, Phoebe has shown great effort, determination and a willingness to learn, taking on the challenges of the Development Group and continuing to improve every session.

It’s fantastic to see her confidence and ability developing, and we’re excited to see what she can achieve as the cross country season progresses.

⚪️⚫️🔵 Well done, Phoebe thoroughly deserved! Up the Airedale! 🔵⚫️⚪️

🎉🎉Athlete of the Week🎉🎉 29/09/26

This week, we decided to give everyone Athlete of the Week for their continued development, commitment and effort throughout our cross country sessions.

Over the last five weeks of training, absolutely everyone has given it their all. The progress, attitude and enthusiasm from the juniors has been fantastic to see.

We’re really looking forward to the cross country season ahead, and I genuinely believe this could be the juniors’ best season yet.

⚪️⚫️🔵 Well done, everyone. Up the Airedale 🔵⚫️⚪️

England Athletics Regional Awards evening 🥂🥂

A huge congratulations to Ashley Colley winning the Unsung Hero of the Year !!! 🏆👏 👏 .

Ashley has played a transformative role in the revival of Bradford Airedale AC. Since taking responsibility for the junior section and becoming a key committee member, he has helped grow membership dramatically while creating new opportunities for athletes and families. Through coaching multiple evenings each week, organising events and developing innovative participation programmes, Ashley has rebuilt a thriving club culture despite challenging facilities and limited resources. His leadership has enabled junior athletes to progress to regional and national levels while also introducing new adult running opportunities through the Couch to 5K. Ashley's energy, commitment and determination have changed the further of the club and inspired a new generation of athletes.

So well deserved! 🎉
