AC are a prominent and rapidly growing athletic club who cater
for runners and athletes of all abilities and ages. Whether you
simply want to run and train for fun or hope to compete at

distance running, hurdles, javelin, shot putt, discus and long
jump.
Our
400 metre track and our new clubhouse is located beside Westpark
Gym (near the Astro Park) just outside Tallaght Village on the
Greenhills Road. This 10,000 square foot state of the art
building includes a gymnasium and shower/changing facilities.
Our flood lights have been designed to facilitate TV coverage so
the track is well illuminated for the winter months.
We
train at the track from 7pm to 8pm on Tuesday’s and
Thursday’s and for the committed athlete who wants to do
middle distance and long distance running we meet at the
clubhouse for off track endurance training on Monday and
Wednesdays from 6pm to 7.30pm and on Sundays at 9am.
Juvenile
membership costs €1 per week or can be paid in one amount of
50 Euro for a full year. Adult membership costs €120 per year.
This membership fee is used to secure your insurance and
membership with the Athletic Association of Ireland.
There
are four qualified coaches available to bring out your natural
sporting talents so why not come down to track and meet us and
ask for Ray or Tony. We will offer advice and encouragement and you
decide how much you want to train.
