track and field

Crusaders is a force to be reckoned with in the world of athletics. With a strong and storied history, the club is considered one of the elite track and field organizations in Ireland. Year after year, Crusaders athletes dominate the competition, participating in events such as National indoor and outdoor championships.
One of the highlights of our track and field calendar is the National Track and Field League, which Crusaders have won on several occasions, and have subsequently had the honour of representing Ireland in Europe. 


As the weather heats up, so does the excitement on the track. The track season starts in April and runs until September, providing the perfect opportunity to get involved.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the game, Crusaders offers dedicated training for track events, specifically in middle distance (800, 1500 meters). These events are short, fast-paced and thrilling, perfect for those looking for a change from long-distance running.
