Welcome to Beeston Athletic Club (formerly Siemens AC) Nottingham - updated 20/05/2013
Welcome to the Beeston Athletics Club, we are a small but popular club that keeps in the running disciplines; Road, Cross Country and Fells.
The purpose of this site is to encourage new members competitively or socially.
We meet for club runs each Wednesday & Friday evening, and also on a Sunday morning. Sessions carry on all years round and there are normally people who want to do a shorter route for one reason or another. Some of the runners gradute and train with the Fast Lads on a Tuesday evening. We send weekly updates via email to indicate who's running and what races are occuring.
Running as a group we always keep together, John is prepared to run and assist with new or slower members, we encourage faster people to run up front and loop back at turning points
Wednesdays 18:30 we aim for 1hrs of running (approx. 6-8 miles), starting from Chilwell Olympia (NG9 5HR) in the Foyer (we have full use of changing rooms and showers) and follow various routes using Attenborough Nature Reserve, the River Trent and surrounding area trying to keep of major roads. Afterwards in The Victoria Hotel, Beeston in the RR on the R.
Fridays also at 18:30 from Chilwell Olympia, we aim for 45m of running (approx. 4-6 miles).
Sundays 09:00 from Stanton Gate by the few houses at the end of Moorbridge Lane, Stapleford. We enjoy the rolling countryside around Stanton by Dale and last approx. 1h30m.
We also participate in 2 Half Marathons or equivalent abroad each year. The TRENT 5 is a race we hold in May/June.
Feel free to have a look around our site and contact us with any questions or comments on the contact page.

Comment from Simon Elliot - 17/04/2013 ref. Trent 5
Tramworks in central Beeston, people, leave plenty of time!
. Please accept my apologies for not sharing the final standings of the Cross Country Season.
Having been reminded by Geoff, I promised to email everybody the final results of the league.
It was a pleasant journey throughout the season and there were times when runners were
struggling to be fit and take part in the competition.
Still, may I take this opportunity to thank all the runners who took part in the XC races and I
hope to see you all again next season.
Congratulations to Dave Evans who had a very successful season and finished ahead of Geoff
who in turns showed what a competitor he was.
Thank you all and see you very soon.
All the best,
Rab
