On 31st March 1996 Beccles Athletic Club and Lowestoft Athletic Club merged to form Waveney Valley Athletics Club. The club offers competition and training opportunities for both senior and junior athletes and road runners in the Lowestoft, Beccles and Waveney area.

During the summer the club competes in the East Anglian Athletics League for track and field and during the winter in the Suffolk Cross-Country League.

The club offers a very active road-running programme, for road runners in the Lowestoft, Beccles and Waveney area. We organise and stage three road races through the year; the Lowestoft Scores Race, 10 mile Turkey Trot race in Beccles, and the Mutford Road Relay. A new addition since 2007 is one of the toughest cross country races staged in the Suffolk Cross-Country League; on the Somerleyton estate around the picturesque Fritton Lake.

The Club offers training throughout the year come rain, hail or shine and we are fortunate to have coaches who are always happy to help and be there to organise the training sessions. You are always welcome to come along and give us a try for a week before joining the club. For more details, see the training section.

Club standard certificates are presented once year at our annual general meeting / awards evening.
