Buxton AC is a friendly, inclusive community athletics and running club for ages 7 to 70+. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a regular runner, or an experienced competitor, you’ll find a home here.

We are proud to have a thriving junior club alongside our senior club, helping young athletes develop confidence, fitness and a love of sport in a fun, supportive environment.

With around 200 members from Buxton and the surrounding area, we’re a diverse and welcoming club brought together by a shared love of running. Founded in 1977 by our president, Chris Bent, Buxton AC has a long tradition of encouraging people of all abilities to achieve their personal best.

Our members compete across road, fell, cross country and track events at local, regional and national level. You’ll often see Buxton colours at races across the Peak District and beyond — always proud to represent our town and our club.

Above all, Buxton AC is about community, encouragement and enjoying running together. New members are always very welcome.
