| The Track and Field section of Cornwall Athletic Club has over a number of years been able to boast a good number of athletes who have gained honours at International, National and Regional level. (For Hall of Fame click here) This is a tribute to the network of experienced coaches the club have built up over the years.
Action from the Duchy Open August 2006
The club currently compete in the South West League Division 1 winning the League in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and finishing as runners up in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Cornwall Athletic Club also won the South West League Cup in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
As well as competing in the South West League, the club hosts two successful “Open” meetings namely The Duchy Minors and The Duchy Open, which are both in their 29th year attracting entries from clubs and schools within Cornwall and beyond.
Cornwall Athletic Club also co-hosts the Cornwall Open Series, which allows athletes to gain experience competing in events other than their specialist events.
The club organises trips for the younger members to attend other “Open” meetings held in the South West Region and the youngsters invariably come home with many cups and medals, as well as gaining valuable experience of competing against other athletes from around the region.
New members are always most welcome and they are assured a warm welcome and top quality coaching.
