Where is it?

The athletics club trains at the outdoor athletics track at Xcite Craigswood Sports Centre, Livingston.

The track is accessed via a gate in the rear car park - you don't need to enter the sports centre building.

Where to meet?

Coaches will meet athletes at the athletics pavilion at the start of the session.

There's no formal drop-off or pick-up needed - most athletes make their own way to and from the car park.

For the first few sessions parents are welcome to come along too, and you can watch from the paved seating in front of the pavilion.

What do I need to bring?

Athletes train outside, on the athletics track, so should come prepared with appropriate clothing: trainers, shorts, tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt and a jumper.

Athletes can get cold quickly after training, so it's best to wear extra layers rather than too few. A waterproof jacket will also be needed for wet weather.

If bringing a water bottle, please ensure it has your name, as a few always get left!

What happens if the weather is bad?

Training sessions are usually only cancelled when the track is covered in ice or snow.

If we do need to make a change to training arrangements due to bad weather, we will send out a text message to notify you. Please don't contact the sports centre directly.

When can I start?

As soon as you've registered and paid, you can come along! Check the main Athletics Club page for details of holiday dates.

How do I report an absence?
