About City of Sheffield and Dearne AC
City of Sheffield & Dearne Athletic Club serves Sheffield and South Yorkshire, England, with coaching for runners, jumpers, throwers and combined-event athletes. Its outdoor training base is Woodbourn Road Athletics Centre, also identified by the club as Sheffield Hallam University City Athletics Stadium. Road running, cross-country and endurance events complement its track-and-field programme.
The National Athletics League traces the club through Sheffield United Harriers and the 1975 merger with Sheffield City Athletic Club. The City of Sheffield name was adopted in 2000, followed by the merger with Dearne Athletic Club in 2015. The league’s account also recalls Jessica Ennis-Hill’s introduction to athletics at a Don Valley Stadium holiday event in 1996, the beginning of her association with the club and a career that brought Olympic and world titles.
The club welcomes junior beginners through to senior competitors. Its membership page invites newcomers to discuss trial sessions with the membership secretary before committing, and describes annual membership including England Athletics affiliation. Contact the club to confirm the appropriate coaching group and meeting place.
