What our members say…

Club Member:
ALISON FORD
“As a “later in life” C25K runner, SDAC is great club for the next step to longer runs with friendly, encouraging members. Then opportunities for a wide range of competitive runs either as a serious competitor or to get you out of your comfort zone.”
Club Member:
JEREMY GODDARD
“Being a member of our local running club has been a revitalising experience. The inclusive and supportive environment has allowed me to maintain an active lifestyle and foster genuine connections.  Here’s to the joy of running and the continued pursuit of health and happiness in every stride!”
Club Member:
TRACY ELFORD
“I only started running in my mid-40’s and was pleased to have found SDAC as they are very supportive of all abilities. The camaraderie and friendship that I have found in my ability group has been wonderful, and the achievement of running 1 mile, then 2, then 6 and now training for a full marathon has been more empowering than I could have ever imagined…”
Junior Member:
MELISSA Under 15s
“I have been doing athletics for roughly four years with SDAC. The coaches are very supportive and encouraging with athletes’ progress. There is a wide range of activities covered within the sessions, and athletes are encouraged to help even if they are not able to take part in the certain sports for the session. Sportshall events are always a fun experience to meet people from different clubs and learn from others. The Pearson Cup is also an enjoyable experience for the younger age groups. The club allowed me to do the physical part of my Bronze DofE and has helped me improve with my throwing and jumping. I look forward to the rest of my time at the club and cannot wait to see how much I will improve from where I am now.”
