KAC Juniors

We have taken the difficult decision to cancel KAC junior training for the time being due to Covid-19. We hope to be back training soon – please see our Facebook page ‘KAC Juniors’ for more information.

Our Club Policies on Inclusion and Welfare are HERE

 

Keswick AC Juniors aims to provide opportunities for young runners in the area aged 8-16 to learn about training and racing on the fells, road and country. Sessions include not only running but fun games and activities which develop the all-round athleticism required to become a competent runner. The club is at the centre of some of the finest natural scenery to be found anywhere in the UK, and we make use of the local fells, roads and parks in our training sessions. We attract all standards of runner, from county representatives to complete beginners, so do come along and give it a try!
 
We meet every Wednesday during term time from 5.30-6.30pm at various locations around the town, more details about which are posted on our ‘KAC Juniors’ facebook page. We also organise several races throughout the year, more details of which can be found below. Please note that to race in a Keswick vest as part of the club, you will need to join the club officially here.
 
Hi-visibility clothing and a good headtorch is essential in the winter months
 
You can download the Junior Membership Form here.
 
KAC juniors is managed by Level 2 qualified coaches Emma Cooper and John Battrick. For any queries please contact johnbattrick@hotmail.com.

2020 Junior Championships

For 2020 we have chosen 7 races over the year to form our ‘Junior Championships’, which cover ages U9 up to U17. Some are organised by Keswick AC, some by other clubs or organisations. Runners are required to take part in at least 4 races to count, and they are allocated points depending on their position – 12 points for being first Keswick runner in their age group, 10 points for second, 9 points for third, 8 points for fourth etc. Age is at 31st December 2020 for all races. If you run more than 4 races, then your best 4 results count. This year, we also have a ‘Cross Country Championship’, to include your best two Cumbria League XC results from the Cockermouth, Keswick and Workington fixtures. These races are always popular, great fun, and the perfect way to put all your training in to practise!
