We use the app Spond for all registrations and communication within the club so it would be recommended to download the app for your ease of use.

Our training sessions vary depending on age group and location. Please check our main registration page for more details.

We offer training for anyone that is interested in running or improving their level. Our coaches meet you at your level and talk about your goals.

You will need the following for training: Members are expected to come to training properly attired. This means they should wear proper “running” runners (not fashion runners), shorts, leggings or light tracksuit bottoms, with a technical (poly-mix) t-shirt and a hoodie or something similar to wear before and after training. If it's raining, a light rain jacket is very useful – but luckily our skin is waterproof. We recommend bringing a water bottle too.

For competition:

North Sligo AC Singlet - For those aged u9 and upwards, only official club singlets can be worn in competitions. Once you become a member, you can check with your coach how to obtain the club singlet.

Spikes Running Shoes - Cross-country races are run wearing running shoes called “spikes”. These are lightweight runners that can be fitted with spikes that vary in size depending on the conditions but typically a 9-12mm spike is perfect for most cross-country conditions. These can be purchased from John Kent, Sligo, RunPod, Sligo, Online or from our past members (check with coaches). The same shoes can be used (after a clean!) for indoor or outdoor track and field, simply replace the longer spike with a shorter 3mm-5mm one.
