Athletics Club
If you are looking to enrich your university experience to the fullest then look no further than the University of Portsmouth Athletics Club. We are a club that accepts people of all experience, background and confidence. As much as we strive for success in competition we also work on maintaining and building the strong family values for our new and returning members. This consists of a healthy balance of training, competition and socials.
