Considering joining the Crusaders AC family? We're excited to guide you on this journey! Here's a quick start guide to get you started:
Training Options:
At Crusaders AC, we offer a diverse range of training opportunities, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're into Fit 4 Life, recreational running, middle distance, long distance, or marathons, we've got you covered.
We also have special groups dedicated to sprints and track work. These groups have their training times, which may differ from our regular training sessions. For more information on joining these groups, simply reach out to us at crusadersathleticsclub@gmail.com.
Training Schedule: Our training sessions are typically held on Tuesdays, with warm-ups starting at 6:30 PM and Thursdays for a relaxed social run or a session in the local park, where we meet at 6:30 PM at the Irishtown stadium's reception area. Tuesday evenings are especially welcoming for newcomers, and all abilities are encouraged to participate.
We also host Saturday morning training sessions in the scenic Phoenix Park at 10:30 AM, where most groups and abilities are welcome to join.  Find out more HERE

 Additionally, we conduct Couch to 3k/5k programs throughout the year, open to both the public (for a fee) and free for current members.

Pre-Booking Training:
For Tuesday sessions, due to high attendance, it's essential to book your spot in advance. However, for all other sessions, no prior booking is required.

To secure your spot, please visit our booking system HERE. When booking a Tuesday session, you'll see lanes 1 to 8, each with a designated 5k time to indicate the standard for that lane. Simply select the standard that matches your 5k time.
If you're uncertain about your ability or standard, starting with the Fit 4 Life group in lane 1 is a great choice.
