How does the Adult Running Club communicate?

Picture
Clane Athletic Club adult running club have a dedicated Whats App group. We do not use ClubZap for communicating with the Adult club, although you are welcome to join the Clane AC ClubZap app for our general club announcements.

The Adult Running club Whats App group is where you will get all the up to date training information, changes to training times, call outs for group runs and any other announcements for the Adult Running Club.

When you register via the Athletics Ireland, unfortunately there is no function to select to automatically add you to the clubs Whats App group.

​So, once you register and turn up for your first training session with the Adult Running club, please ask one of the coaches to add you. You will not be added by our coaches unless you specifically ask them, as not everyone wants to be added to the Whats App group.
                                                                              
THIS WHATS APP GROUP IS STRICTLY FOR REGISTERED CLANE AC ADULTS MEMBERS ONLY.
