Clwb Athletau Llanelli Athletics Club

Directions

Clwb Athletau Llanelli Athletics Club Welsh Athletics affiliated club for seniors juniors from 9 years old upwards, covering Track and Field, Road and Cross Country.

This is Llanelli Athletics Club official page. Llanelli Athletics Club was formed in 1978 and is affiliated with Welsh Athletics. Members start from age 9 through to seniors and veterans. Llanelli AC provides training & support covering a range of disciplines, including track and field, road races, and cross country. Some members also regularly compete in other running events such as trail, fell, triathlons & ultra-distances. We cater for runners of all abilities from complete beginners to established internationals. Main Junior training sessions (9 years and above) are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Pemberton Athletic track next to Parc y Scarlets. Prospective new joiners should attend sessions on a trial basis (currently Thursday at 5:20) to see if they enjoy it before joining the club, then they may be invited to attend further sessions. For adults, we currently have two regular club sessions:

Monday 6pm - 'Recovery / Social Run'

Usually from North Dock - meet at 'Dragon 24' business centre car park, but please always check for updates as the location does sometimes change for variety. The emphasis here is on social running and recovery from weekend races or long training runs. Depending on who attends different paced groups often form, but periodically the whole group will re-form and no-one gets left behind. Thursday 6pm - Speed training / intervals

Usually meeting at Pemberton Athletic Track (again, keep an eye out for changes of venue)

Varied structured speed / interval sessions focussing on technique and developing strength. Note that 'speed' doesn't mean you have to be a fast runner, and although it is likely to improve your times it's as much about pushing yourself in a controlled and structured way beyond your 'normal' pace to allow the body to make adaptations and improvements in form that will make whatever your normal 'cruising' pace is more comfortable and efficient, as well as increasing your 'top end' speed. The session will always accommodate runners of any age / pace / level of experience / target goals. We are a supportive, friendly and family orientated team. Follow our activities and join in on our chats. We welcome all new members of the club, and new followers online. Our team makes every effort to welcome new members and help them to integrate into the club and sport. Emphasis is placed on enjoyment and participation.

This Saturday saw the mud-fest that is the 4th and penultimate John Collins Gwent League cross country meeting at Margam Park.

The Club fielded athletes in junior, senior and masters age groups. Results can be viewed on the Gwent League website.

The Gwent League races are used to inform Welsh Squad selection as well as being brilliant winter training for anyone wanting to improve their personal performance in road races. It’s a great day out for families and entry fees are only £2 for Juniors and £5 for Seniors - an absolute bargain for well-organised Welsh Athletics sanctioned races.

The current league President Brian Fox said “People often mistakenly think these races are just for elite athletes, this is not the case. Whilst we do have the top-class Welsh runners competing, we also have lots of runners who are just starting out and want to challenge themselves. Everyone is welcomed and our only stipulation is that they are a member of an athletics club.”

The final race of the series will be held on 2nd March in Brecon. Anyone joining the club between now and the new membership year in April is covered for the full year to April 2026. Get in touch if you fancy giving it a go!

Six hardy Llanelli Athletics Club members braved cold and breezy conditions at the West Glamorgan Cross Country League fixture at Pembrey Country Park on Sunday Morning, 2nd February.

Attendance was hit by illness, injury and the fact this second round fixture, organised by Tri Hard Harriers, had been rearranged after storms caused cancellation of the initial November date. The Llanelli team of four men and two women, running together on a relatively flat and well-drained two lap 4.4 miles course all put in a great shift.

Well done to Hugh Evans, John Marson, Ant Heald, Claire Protheroe and senior vice-captains Matthew ‘Bull’ Phillips and Catrin Davies.

Thanks also to Club stalwart Bruce Morgan for photos, and club co-founder, President and Coach, Paul Oram for their support.
