Welcome to Leighton Buzzard Athletic Club

Try us before you join

The club caters for all levels of runner, so even if you’re just starting out, come and join us.

Seniors (ages 18+)

You don’t have to join the club to come and try a training session, just come along and see what you think. Please see our Training page or email us at Enquiries@leightonbuzzardac.co.uk for more details.

Juniors (ages 9-18)

From 1st September 2023 our Junior Training has been suspended due a lack of qualified coaches. We are currently carrying out a review of the Junior section with the aim to bring back a sustainable offering for our Junior athletes.
