The Ackworth Club has been the home to athletes of all abilities throughout its 25 year history and draws members from the whole of the Wakefield District. We have runners living in the Five Towns area of Pontefract, Knottingley, Featherstone, Castleford and Normanton, plus a good contingent from the Hemsworth, South Elmsall/ Kirkby and Upton areas.

Explore our new site: we aim to keep Ackworth Club members and visitors informed of all aspects of our activities - past, present and future; hopefully with a little sense of humour here and there. Running, as life, should have an element of fun. Enjoy your browsing.
Ackworth Club members participate in their own events held throughout the year over distances ranging from 3 to 10 miles and compete (socialise) with other running clubs in handicap races, cross country and track & field events. A number participate in triathlons as members of other clubs.
