Introduction

Winchester and District AC has a large adult membership. The club competes in road running & endurance, cross-country and track & field.  WADAC has members with a wide range of abilities and goals, from social runners to elite athletes. 

About Road Running and Endurance

Winchester’s Road Running Section reformed  in 1996. During this time memberships has shot up from the initial 6 to over 250 runners of all abilities and both sexes. We compete individually and in teams in races all over the UK from the humble 10k to the London Marathon and ultra endurace races.

We pride ourselves on being a truly friendly bunch of like minded people who, whilst competitive, value camaraderie above all else. We come in all shapes , sizes, nationalities and ages and warmly invite anyone who has a shape, a size, a nationality, an age and is breathing to come along and join us.

NB see the WADAC calendar and Links page for road running / endurance training schedules and race information.

Cross-Country

Cross country competition starts age 11. Click here for Junior cross-country.

(Contact: David Vosser)

Meets at Farley Mount on Saturdays when there are no cross country races.

For those who run for fun and those who are more competitive, for all ages from 11 years to 90 years, come and enjoy the freedom of the countryside and running away from the noise and fumes of the traffic.

The club enters teams in a variety of leagues catering for all ages and standards. For the more ambitious there is the chance to enter County, regional and National Championships.

Come and give it a try !!
