For beginners adult runners & 2021 Couch to 5km
Unfortunately, our Couch to 5km programme for January 2021 is unworkable during the Covid19 restrictions and so this programmes is suspended until restrictions are fully lifted - We will keep this under review and announce accordingly when we feel we can effectively run the programme again.
As C25K training needs to be consistent and regular, at present, due to the constant chopping and changing of Covid 19 restrictions, our limitation with group numbers, and the potential for repeated training cancellations, unfortunately it is not feasible for the club to effectively run a successful track-based beginners Couch to 5km programme for January 2021. We will keep this in review however.
Under normal, non-Covid circumstances, our Complete beginner adult runners must come through the Couch to 5km programme
This is a 7 weeks dedicated leader led programme and is independent of the annual Clane AC Athletics Ireland membership.
Interested C25K participants must register with us in person at the start of January.
The running club facilitates ONE Couch to 5km programme per year over 7 weeks from early January to the end of February.
REMINDER: This programme has been suspended for 2021 until Covid restrictions are no longer in place.
C25K graduates who wish to continue running with the club will be invited to then join as a full Clane AC member at a 30% discount off the annual rate using the online registration system, and this membership entitles them to full adult club membership and runs right up to 31st December.

Track availability for non-members, the general public & other community groups:
Updated May 2021:
Our hope for the future is that the track will be available to the public at agreed designated times.
It is difficult to establish a workable system in this current Covid 19 climate and will need to review ways of being able to execute this safely and in line with the recommended government guidelines.
We will determine what usage times & conditions that need to be put in place before opening it up for general use.
This may take some time - so please be patient.
Once these guidelines are established, a time table for the public will be in operation and we will make an announcement via all our media channels.
Please note however, when the track does become available to the public, usage must be agreed in advance with Clane Athletic club and will be subject to a social membership fee and/or hourly track rate.

Juvenile club waiting lists!!!!
Due to the high demand in certain age categories, sometimes Clane AC have to operate a waiting list for new juvenile members in certain age groups - most commonly in the U9s, U10s & U11s age groups.
Our team of coaches are constantly reviewing the age groups and coach allocation to see if we have more space available.
Our club registrar will review your application and if there is no place available, your child will be placed on the list, or if we have a place available he will be in touch with you immediately.
Click on the "Join our waiting list" button below to register your interest online via the ""Child Membership Application" button on the Athletics Ireland page.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT JUVENILE MEMBERSHIP:
Juvenile Athletes whose membership is not up to date are not entitled to train with the club and will not be eligible to be entered in competitions.
Like any sports club, all Juveniles are reasonably expected to participate in competition events throughout the year but the club especially expects our young members to attend the annual Kildare League.
The Kildare League is an enjoyable annual club event for our young athletes to compete against other Kildare clubs in the area.
The competition days are spread out over 3 or 4 days during the Springtime months and all our juvenile members are required to attend each of the designated league days and participate in two events.
Due to the high demand of places in certain age groups, juvenile members who do not show up for training for over 4 consecutive weeks without an adequate reason for their absence, or similarly, those who never participate competition events, especially the Kildare League, may be at risk of losing their place.
