The club is managed through a committee elected annually at the Annual General Meeting held in October. It has overall responsibility for managing income and expenditure, ensuring we operate in accordance with the constitution, organising races and social events, provision of effective communication with members and generally ensuring the club meets the needs of the membership. The club's strength is ultimately dependent upon the time and effort provided by committee members. Membership of the committee is open to all whatever their length of time with the club.

With the substantial growth in numbers over the last year, there is room to co-opt more members onto the committee. If you wish to help out or want more details, please let us know. The committee meets once per month on a training night, normally lasting for about 90 mins.
We are also like to encourage involvement and feedback from members at committee meetings. It would help deliberations if 2 or 3 members attended a meeting on an ad hoc basis - the views of the general membership are very important.

Ackworth Road Runners and AC was established in 1985 following a meeting of local running enthusiasts (over a beer or two) at the Mason's Arms in Bell Lane Ackworth. The Club owes it's existence to the driving force of our Founder and Ackworth resident, Colin Tanswell plus the enthusiasm of the initial membership, a number who still turn out on a regular basis to race in club colours. Our current home is the Angel pub on Wakefield Road Ackworth. We are affiliated to England Athletics.
We have been extremely successful in attracting new members to the club over the last year and the total now exceeds 120 and is still growing.
Whilst the 'home' of the club is Ackworth, we attract members from all over the Wakefield Metropolitan area and beyond. In fact currently only 19% live in Ackworth and 23% in Pontefract. Our reputation as a great club to join extends widely!
The gender split is 55% Male, 45% Female.
Average Age: Males 51, Females 42.
