Whether you’re looking to Run, Jump, Throw, or take your first steps towards fitness with a Couch to 5K programme, athletics clubs across Wales offer something for everyone. By joining a club, you’ll benefit from guidance provided by Welsh Athletics-qualified coaches and leaders, a supportive environment, and a welcoming community to help you stay active and achieve your goals.
Why Join Now?
If you sign up as a new member between January and March 2025, you’ll benefit from an extended membership offer, with your Welsh Athletics affiliation running until March 31st 2026.

Welsh Athletics membership includes:
- Discounts on race entries and coaching courses
- Retail offers with partners like Sportsshoes, SoleMate, and Orthotix
- Individual insurance for training and competing
- Access to competitions, resources, and a supportive community—whether you’re competing, training, or just starting out

Plus, by joining, you’ll be contributing to the growth and success of athletics in Wales, helping the sport thrive at every level.
Who qualifies as a new member?
You’re eligible as a new member if you haven’t previously been affiliated with Welsh Athletics (or another Home Country athletics federation) or if your last affiliation was more than three years ago.
How do I join?
To become a member of Welsh Athletics, you’ll need to affiliate through a Welsh Athletics affiliated club.
You can find your nearest club using the Club Finder tool.
When you join, you’ll pay the annual affiliation fee:
- £21.00 for senior athletes
- £13.00 for junior athletes
Clubs will usually charge their own membership fee too, so be sure to check with them for details.
If you prefer a virtual option or can’t make it to club training sessions, you can join Clwb Run Wales – our virtual running club.
