GLASGOW CALEDONIAN
ATHLETICS CLUB
About
Potentially the biggest and most successful team at Glasgow Caledonian University, GCU Athletics are starting to make a name for themselves in academia athletics in both Scotland and further afield throughout Britain.
The current GCU sports team of the year participate in a range of events from track and field to hill running, all throughout the year and across many organisations such as BUCS and Scottish Athletics.
Host to numerous Scottish and even British internationalists, the club strives itself on being an inclusive club. Paying for all our athletes entry fees to competitions no matter their level.
Away from the competitions, the club trains every week night, with group runs Monday to Thursday and a gym session, kindly hosted by one of our sponsors Glasgow City Physiotherapy on a Friday evening.
We also host several social events throughout the academic year and have started to gain a reputation for both our pub and sub crawls.
