Its all about the running Charlo Athletic Club is " all about running" and all about the "people" that belong to our club, and their families.

We participate in road running events with
enthusiasm, and our "athletes" can be described as very competitive, some may
be mildly competitive, but more often than not, we are extremely sociable /
competitive "creatures". If you are keen on joining Charlo Athletic Club, see our
