We are an established athletics club that develops athletes to their full potential.
Our U18 section is for 12-17 yr-olds in Poole and surrounding areas. We offer fully supervised coaching for Track & Field (sprinting, endurance, hurdles, high-jump, long-jump, triple-jump, javelin, shot put, and discus) and Cross Country with groups between 5 to 10 athletes per coach.




ASHDOWN LEISURE CENTRE – CANFORD HEATH
Mondays & Thursdays 6:45pm – 8pm
On Mondays and Thursdays we train at Ashdown Track from 6:45pm to 8pm. During this session athletes receive specialist coaching in their chosen discipline: sprinting, endurance, hurdles or field. The session runs through summer and winter as the venue is flood lit. There is a club house onsite with toilets and a kitchen – Cup for tea for the parents and carers!
BROADSTONE REC – BROADSTONE
Saturdays 11:30am – 12:30am
Our Saturday Cross Country/ Squad Run session is based at Broadstone Recreation Ground. This training session focuses on developing off-road running on grass and parkland terrain. This is perfect preparation for the Cross Country competition season which runs through autumn and winter.
Verity went through the ranks at Poole Runners Juniors and continued on to represent Great Britain.
Poole Runners has supported and encouraged me on my athletic journey, from QuadKids to Under 18’s. Running is now a part of who I am and what I aspire to be!
