Airedale Athletics is a community of joggers, walkers, runners, cyclists and participants of similar endurance activities, of all abilities, backgrounds and ages, in Bradford, Airedale and north-west Leeds and further afield.

It seeks to promote the benefits of regular aerobic exercise to the greatest number of people through providing:

(i) a network to support what are primarily individual activities;

(ii) technical support, including coaching, specialist training and practical advice;

(iii) social activities to bring likeminded people together;

(iv) opportunities for participation in individual and team competitions, for those who so wish.

The facilities and infrastructure of Airedale Athletics are provided through the voluntary efforts of members of its partner clubs, namely Bradford-Airedale AC, Eccleshill Road Runners and St Bede's AC.
