Welcome to the website of Doncaster Athletic Club.

Doncaster Athletic Club caters for Track and Field, Road Running and Cross Country Athletes of all levels.

We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity in sport for all, irrespective of gender, race, disability or age. Safety and personal achievement are our priorities, as members strive to reach personal goals in sport and fulfil their potential.

We are a friendly club and new members are always welcome.

We have recently appointed an Induction Coach, Dave Andrews. From Tuesday 6th May, the first Tuesday in every month will be an induction night for new members, starting at 6pm. Dave will assess any new members and a Club official will be available to show new members around the site. This applies to any athletes from 8 to 15yrs. A Welcome Pack will be given on the night.
