WELCOME
About
Dorking and Mole Valley Athletics Club is a friendly club which caters for all ages and abilities, from 10 to Veteran and covers both athletics and field events. Our numerous activities are divided into groups to suit all abilities, from competitive runners and triathletes to those who enjoy some gentle exercise as well as the Junior age groups.
The Club is also affiliated to the British Triathlon Association and some members take part in Modern Biathlon and Modern Triathlon competitions.
When and Where?
We have a clubhouse and grass track at Pixham Lane with glorious views of Box Hill and easy access to the magnificent Surrey Hills countryside for long runs.
Club nights are Monday and Thursday, 7pm at Pixham Lane but many other sessions go on throughout the week such as circuit training at Oakfield Junior School, trail running over Ranmore Common and weekend cycle rides. See the training pages for further details.
On the last Thursday of the month we run a Handicap event, this is followed by a meal in the winter or a BBQ after club night in the summer.
Leagues and Events
Both Juniors and Seniors take part in track events in the summer and cross country in the winter as well as road races all year round.
Juniors - We have a thriving Junior section who compete in a number of Leagues such as the Lily B legue for girls, the Ebbisham league for boys and the Young Athletes League for both. A number of junior only sessions are laid on by the club including our popular sportshall sessions at Ashcombe School in Dorking. For more information please visit our juniors page.
Cross Country - In 2010/2011 our male and female teams will both compete in Surrey XC League Division 1, the highest standard. Juniors also compete at these events over a shorter distance.

The East Surrey League is another option. The league consists of 4 excellent races; two cross country and two road.
