Welcome 

Situated at the heart of Britain's oldest recorded town is the home of Colchester and Tendring Athletics Club.  We are a family friendly, inclusive club which takes pride in the opportunities that we give to all in athletics. Our dedicated volunteer coaches provide an excellent quality of coaching for all levels.  Younger athletes are encouraged with training programmes that include elements of all athletics disciplines through fun training activities.
As they progress through the club to U13's upwards, the training becomes more focused on specific events with tailored training programmes.
Please visit this web site regularly for information and news.

Return to training - Phase 3

After a successful three weeks back at training using the Garrison Track, we are now on the move. Sessions are moving to the Garrison cricket ground whilst the track is ripped up and replaced. The covid-19 regime implemented with the MoD/Sodexo and Colchester Harriers worked well, so it will be used again at the new venue.

If you are one of our later Monday or Wednesday session athletes, you should have received an invitation link to book a training session in your email. The online booking system has been extended for most track and field groups, but there are exceptions. If you are a part of Ellie's, Ian's, Glenn's or Jon's Middle distance group, please contact them direct via the usual channels, The same for Bob's middle distance group.

Please DO NOT just arrive at the track - admittance is strictly by booking ONLY. Group sizes have been extended in line with new England Athletics guidelines within our covid secure location but booking is still essential.

Update : Monday Early session WAITING LIST for athletes aged 9-12 - 7th January 2020
We are now taking new requests for our early Monday session for younger athletes. Induction sessions will begin from September/October 2020 onwards, subject to availability of places and Covid-19 restrictions.
​Please be advised that our early Monday group sessions are based on the England Athletics FUNdamentals programme. This involves jumping and throwing as well as running - ALL young athletes are expected to learn ALL three disciplines as part of our rotation system.
