Clane AC is run entirely by volunteers
Yes, its true! Clane Athletic club is a completely volunteer based organisation. All our juvenile coaches, running club leaders, administration staff, committee members and other club helpers comprise of local residents from around the area of Clane. Some have experience, others are just learning as they go. They have same common goal of passing on the love of athletics and personal fitness to the next generation. They happily offer up their free time, at no financial gain whatsoever, to train both the children and adults, while also covering all our administration roles and other club duties. Your membership fee goes towards maintenance of our track facility, winter lighting, upkeep and replacement of club equipment, and the administrative expenses that are required for general running of the club. Your fee is a valuable contribution towards this wonderful facility within your local community and plus it is also helping to secure the future of Irish Athletics

Membership 2022 - Clane Athletic Club (claneac.ie) Running for COMPLETE BEGINNERSPlease don't try to use the formal online registration with Athletics Ireland if you are a beginner runner and want to join the Couch to 5km group.
The Couch to 5km 7 week membership is not an Athletics Ireland full annual membership. Only use the special link to register for the C25K. It is a short term, 7 week membership and is dealt with separately from the main Clane AC Athletics Ireland annual membership. Beginner adult runners must come through our Couch to 5km programme. This is a 7 weeks dedicated leader led programme held in January and is independent of the annual Clane AC Athletics Ireland membership. Interested C25K participants must register with us in person at our designated registration evenings held in late December/early January. This programme takes place in early January and finishes in mid-February. We run ONE Couch to 5km programme a year. We cannot cater for complete beginner runners after mid-February as our leaders will be moving on with the group to other training programmes. *Full Clane AC Membership runs from January 1st - 31st December, regardless of what date you register. This is governed by Athletic Irelands membership criteria, not the club * 
Clane AC encourage its members to participate in weekly parkrun events, which take place all over Ireland.
Clane AC caters for adults of all ages
