Crusaders is one of Ireland's biggest and most successful track and field clubs. Our members train for events including sprints, hurdles, middle distance, walks, jumps, throws and lots more! In fact, our dedicated team of coaches cover almost every discipline in track and field.

Our thriving track and field section caters to all ages and abilities, and our members compete, both indoors and outdoors, in competitions that range from Dublin Athletics Board graded meets, to National and International Championships, and from juvenile to masters age groups. We even host our own GV Ryan athletics meet at Irishtown Stadium every Summer.

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. 

Over fifteen Olympians have donned the red and white of Crusaders, and we continue to identify and foster talent, in the hope of adding to this list!
