Membership

Give us a test-run

We’re scattered across North London, with lots of sessions throughout the week. Take a look at our training sessions, find what fits in best for you, come say hello, and give us a test-run.

First-timer or experienced athlete, at school or haven’t competed since your school days, everyone is welcome. For seniors you can usually join in straightaway, and the first session is on us. When you join the club (we’re pretty confident you’ll like us), all our sessions come as standard.

All new junior applicants must complete a trial session before joining, for us to assess which training group is appropriate and confirm availability. Please contact juniors@londonheathside.org.uk to tell us a bit more about your child, ask any questions and register to book your trial session. See here for more info on the junior section. Please note that we are now operating a waiting list for junior training groups. Priority is given to those wanting to train regularly towards competition. Please contact us to be added to the list, with child’s name, DOB and athletics experience/aspirations
