About Senior Membership
Linlithgow Athletic Club are a diverse lot, fast and slow, young and old, men and women. Some run competitively, others socially, and most a bit of both. We aim to offer a friendly, inclusive club, where everyone is welcome. There are some experienced runners at the club and many hold coaching qualifications awarded by our governing body Scottish Athletics and jogscotland. If you can run three or four miles continuously and want to take your running a step further then this could be right for you. If you’re just starting out why not try our jogscotland group Let’s Go Linlithgow.

What does the senior club do?
Training
Our seniors are an active bunch who meet up regularly for informal social runs e.g. at Beecraigs, or at our Tuesday and Thursday training sessions. We also enjoy regular social events through the year e.g. summer BBQ, annual dinner and awards night, pub visits after cross country races.
Competition
There is a lot going on: joining the club allows runners to discover a range of different running events. Our senior members participate in a range of events, from track to ultra-marathons.
We also have our annual club competitions - read more about our Club Championship. As a club affiliated to the national athletics body, we also receive a coveted place at the London Marathon - this is normally given to a member through a ballot, with the name of the lucky athlete drawn from a hat at the annual dinner in December.
