Annual Awards & Celebration Evening 2025 Cancellation
We regret to inform you that the MMAC Awards & Celebration Evening scheduled for 17/10/25 has been ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ.
This has been an extremely difficult decision to make and we understand that this is disappointing news and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience.
Unfortunately there has been an unexpectedly low interest in the event and only a very small amount of tickets have been sold to date. With the time and practicalities involved in organising such an event together with the associated costs, the decision has been made that given the circumstances, it is no longer sensible to host an event on this occasion.

This has been a difficult decision to make and we appreciate your understanding and support.

Training Sessions...
Our training sessions mainly take place at Middlesbrough Sports Village, where we have the use of the indoor and outdoor track.
Most training sessions run on Monday to Friday evenings (although some groups also train on a weekend), with the first sessions starting at 17.30 for the U11's.
U11's groups are available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (1 hour sessions).
Most coaches of athletes aged 11 and over expect their athletes to attend training at least twice a week. They are also expected to compete for the club at local competitions.
Suitable running attire and footwear is recommended for training. Club kit can be purchased from the club for use at athletics events, but is not required for training sessions.
A water bottle is essential. Bring a warm coat to wear during rest periods.
Parents/family members are welcome to watch from the stands. There are also toilets/changing rooms, a café (subject to opening hours) and vending machines within the Sports Village.
