Athletics
Club information
The Athletics team can enter into three events over the year (Indoors, Outdoors & X-Country). Whether you are the best in your discipline or just want to improve your PB's, we welcome all students to join us and represent the University. BUCS run both able bodied and Para events, so there is something for everyone.
We have strong links with Bedford and County Athletics Clubs and can always use their expertise whenever we need some advice or help.
Venue
We can train at the Bedford International Athletics Stadium or Stockwood Park Athletics Centre in Luton.
Not based at the Bedford or Luton Campuses? Get in touch via competitivesport@beds.ac.uk and we can see what support can be offered.
Regular training times
Athletics works slightly differently to other sports. Your membership fee will cover the cost of a track pass for you to be able to use the facilities. Once you have one, you're free to use the track whenever you like during their opening hours.
| Day | Venue | Time |
