Team East Lothian Athletics Club was formed in 2012 by the three county athletics clubs; Dunbar Running Club, Haddington Running Club, and Musselburgh and District AC.  The initial aim was to develop an East Lothian-based pathway for young athletes to reach their full potential.

The club now has a strong specialist coaching team supporting a large group of young, keen athletes who are delivering inspiring results at Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field, and at Cross Country events at local, district, national, and international levels.

Team East Lothian now works together with the other clubs to promote athletics to people of all ages and abilities across the county through a variety of programmes, competitions, and events.

The club is committed to athletics for all-abilities and has training and competition opportunities for those interested in race-running, with a fleet of bikes available for all ages.

With an expanding community programme, the club aims to inspire, engage and support the East Lothian community to improve health and wellbeing through athletes.
