Newquay & Par AC

Newquay & Par AC is an athletics club formed in 1984 from the merger of Par AC and Newquay AC, with over 180 members and two bases at Par Track and Newquay. It offers year-round training in track and field athletics and cross-country, serving east, mid and north Cornwall. Members range from recreational runners keeping fit to athletes competing at national and international level, and the club has a bi-lateral agreement with Newquay Road Runners for those wanting to focus on road running.

Adult training covers track and field events and cross-country, with qualified coaches at both Par track and Newquay and coaching available from novice to national level. Newcomers are asked to read the training pages, then complete the enquiry form on the contacts page stating previous experience and whether they prefer to train at Newquay or Par; alternatively they can attend one of the advertised entry-level sessions. The first session is free, after which training is charged at a non-member rate until joining. To become a member, complete the membership form and medical information sheet and hand it in at a training session or send it to the membership secretary with the appropriate fee. Athletes who intend to compete also pay an England Athletics registration fee. The club competes in the South West League, the Southern Athletics League, the Sapphire League and, in winter, the Westward Cross Country League, and hosts open graded meetings at Par. The website does not list specific training days or times. England Athletics affiliated club.
