Inaugural Welsh Athletics Club of the Year (Off track) 2025 〰️

Who we are

Tra môr, tra Meirion - While the sea lasts, so shall Meirionnydd

The motto of the old welsh county of Meirionnydd. The county name may have disappeared but our scenic hills, woods and beaches remain, and now a running club helps spread the fame of this beautiful land.

Club aims.

The club was established in Dolgellau in 2006, when we hoped we would get 12 to 20 members! We currently have over 180 and 3 active training hubs in Bala and Bangor in addition to Dol. We have all abilities of runners, joggers and social members. The objective is to arrange races and promote amateur athletics. The club is open to members from the age of 11 years and upwards. We are affiliated to Welsh Athletics for road, fell, and cross country events. We organise championships, enter leagues and team competitions, arrange social runs, training sessions, talks, demonstrations and social events.

But mostly we run! We run for fun - and we encourage all to discover that running makes you feel better, helps you explore our beautiful area, to meet like-minded people, maybe discover that competition can be fun at any level, and that excellence is within the reach of all who want it.

Our teams are achieving great results at UK, National and regional levels and we have athletes who have been selected for Welsh caps. Our senior men have just retained the Welsh Cross Country Championship in Cardiff

From total beginners to international runners, the club offers a range of opportunities for social events, training nights, races and trips away to far flung places, from Machynlleth to Morroco, Penmaenpool to Prague the possibilities are endless.
