Throughout its history, Cornwall Athletic Club’s (CAC) athletes, members, coaches, officials and volunteers have worked tirelessly to help make it one of the most successful clubs in the South West.
Now the ever growing membership includes all ages - Juniors (9+) up to Veterans (70+) - all abilities - able bodied and disabled athletes, from complete beginners to recreational, County, National and International level, competing in track and field disciplines plus road running, multi terrain and cross country events.
CAC was first established in January 1982, as a result of the amalgamation the Duchy of Cornwall Athletic Club and West Cornwall Athletic Club. Today it is based at the Carn Brea Leisure Centre, Pool, Redruth (view on map) where the main weekly training takes place every Tuesday and Thursday evening on the athletics track, beginning at 6.00 pm. Training takes place throughout the year. In the winter the track is floodlit and a range of indoor facilities are also available.
Cornwall Athletic Club offers the full range of Track and Field events, under the supervision of 30 UK Athletics qualified coaches. There is also a strong Road Running section and in the winter Cross Country is a popular form of competition, plus the younger members also take part in the increasingly popular Sportshall athletic meetings.
