All the University car parks now have very clear signs informing everyone of the need to pay for parking. Charnwood AC athletes and parents can get 2 hours free parking while at a training session by registering your vehicle in the clubhouse. You must do this for every session. This does not apply for any events that Charnwood AC athletes may be attending.

There are a number of car parks around the athletics track. Do not park on the roads as this is a danger for other users and pedestrians alike. You must park in a designated car park space, pulling up on the side of the road may make you liable for a parking charge for not parking in a designated space.

Charnwood AC has no influence or involvement in the car parking charges, this is the University's land and we just hire the track/HIPAC. If you have a car parking charge please get in contact with the University parking office or APCOA if you wish to discuss it.

We train at Loughborough University's track on campus. Use this postcode (LE11 3TP) or visit our web page for further information https://www.charnwoodac.co.uk/where-are-we

Our regular training sessions are held on a Monday and Wednesday between 6:30pm and 8:30pm. Start times do vary between groups and during the winter when some groups train indoors. Members can check on our booking system for the up to date times and sessions available.

All members pay £4.00 for each training session booked online. Members will pay £4.50 for a session if they have to pay on the gate. Non-members can train by prior arrangement, please send us a message for further information.

We offer a free taster session for anyone thinking of joining our club. Please send us a message if you are interested and we can book you in for a convenient date. Once you have had a taster session we can discuss how to join the club.

Sometimes we have a waiting list for our Under 11s Fundamentals groups due to the number of people who want to train with us. We offer a free taster session for all, and as part of the introduction we can advise if we have a waiting list at the moment. There are no waiting lists for our other training groups at the moment.

Yes, there is an online form for New Members that you need to complete, and then you will need to make payment. Only once both the form and the payment are received and processed will we enable the online booking for training sessions. Details of the New Member form and how to access it can be found on the Join Us page

All athletes who compete for Charnwood AC must wear the club kit. The kit can be purchased online and picked up from the clubhouse on training nights, for full details please look at the list in the clubhouse. The Club shop is accessible online once you are logged into the website. As well as the team kit, the club also sells hoodies and training jackets.

Membership is £55.00 per annum and runs from March to the end of February and entitles you to pay members’ rates for training and to compete for the club. It also covers your affiliation to England Athletics. Membership renewal is not pro rata, if you renew for the year in July, for example, you will still be required to pay the full yearly amount. If you do not renew promptly (by April 1st) then the renewal fee increases in April, and again in May. Please ensure you renew in time.
