Please note that training will resume THURSDAY 5th JANUARY.

2016 has been another successful year for the Club. This has been achieved through excellent individual performances and good team spirit, demonstrated in the many leagues and events in which we participate. This involvement is wide ranging and includes  Cross Country, Track and Field and Indoor Athletics.

The Club also organises three  major events. The Road Race in March, Club Championship in September and the Cross Country in October. These events have been part of the LAC calendar for many years and are a testament to the host of  volunteers who assist each year.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone connected with the Club.  Our Volunteers and Scottish Athletic Officials who make everything possible.  Our Coaches who dedicate many hours each week to ensuring all our Athletes gain every opportunity to have fun and reach their full potential in athletics.  Our Athletes who support the Club and help to grow our status within the Athletics and indeed the wider Community.  Our partners (Scottish Athletics and Midlothian Council) and our Sponsors who support  the Club year in and year out.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone and best wishes for a happy and peaceful 2017.
