Welcome
Welcome to Otley Athletic Club, an inclusive running club based in Otley with active junior and senior sections.
In these strange times we are trying to run as close to normal as possible. However, please note usual training nights of 7.15pm Tuesdays and Thursdays are cancelled for the foreseeable future.
We do, however, have small groups following England Athletics guidelines who are meeting up at separate times.
We are even making a return to racing, albeit individually and virtually.
Anyone interested in running with Otley AC will need to contact us on here or via email to get advice on joining or trying us out. Bear with us while we get used to the new normal.
If you have any questions please email (info@otleyac.org.uk) and we will get back to you as soon possible. Alternatively visit and ‘like’ our Facebook page for more frequently updated information.
