About Northumbria University
Northumbria University's Athletics and Cross Country club brings students together in the Newcastle upon Tyne area of England. Its programme covers sprints, hurdles, middle- and long-distance running, jumps, throws and cross-country, welcoming newcomers as well as experienced competitors.
For 2026/27, the university specifies Wednesday and Friday training at Churchill Playing Fields in Monkseaton, accessible by Metro. Membership includes regular coached sessions and track access; competition entry and travel are separate costs. Athletes can choose local events and university competition, including BUCS indoor, outdoor and cross-country championships, while weekly socials support the club community.
The university's historical records include hurdler Jason Nicholson and pole vaulter Charlie Myers. Those records do not imply that either is currently a student or member. Prospective students should contact the club committee or its supporting Sport Clubs Officer about joining and any further tasters; the published September and early-October taster dates have already passed.
