Trinity Athletics Club

Deeply rooted in the historical foundations of trinity college, the Dublin university Harriers and athletics club was founded in the 1880's and today is still one of the most established and respected clubs in the college. Indeed, college park has hosted numerous Intervarsity events in the past and has seen many records broken, both national and international. Catering for all athletes, both competitive those not so much!, you can choose to take part in tough sprinting and distance sessions or enjoy circuit training and join our 'Get fit for Beginners' club.

Today the club prospers, with the year just past being one of the most victorious for a while. Our trip to the top began in Nenagh at the national Indoor championships in December, where the ladies took the team title from the reigning champions of 8years, U.L. in one of the most exciting yet exhausting competitions of the year. This winning streak continued in through the cross country season and at the Intervarsities, held in Coleraine both the ladies and men won their respective team competitions and together scored a high enough combined score to win first in the overall competition. The final major event of the year was in Cork and though the team didn't quite manage to pull such a fast one, they did however finish in a well respected third position, behind U.L. and U.C.D.

The club competes in competitions in track and field, cross country, road relays both home and away, colours and chariots of fire-to name but a few. So, if your interested in joining a sports club, consider DUHAC, a more dedicated, enthusiastic and supportive team would be difficult to find.
