Ever wondered how you could become involved with one of the many athletics clubs or meet and train groups around the county? Well, on this sheet we’ve tried to draw together details of all of the main groups that organise Athletics in Galway, their contact details and training sessions so that you can take that first step and become part of the action.
For each club we’ve given some contact people, an internet address where one exists, and the times and places where people from that club or group train regularly. The details on this sheet relate to adult athletics in the County. If you are interested in finding out more about juvenile athletics you may contact the AAI Regional Development Officer, Paul McNamara, whose details are given at the bottom of the sheet.
If any details are inaccurate please contact Mick Rice on (087) 2896989 or [email protected] so that they can be amended. Similarly, if you have additional details that you think should be included in future editions of this page please contact Mick with those details.
