Westport AC is the largest Juvenile Athletics club in Mayo and the seventh largest in Ireland in the latest Athletics Ireland club membership report. Out of the 366 affiliated clubs with Athletics Ireland, Westport AC is currently 20th overall.
Snapshots of the April 2024 and September 2023 reports showing below.
We currently have 432 juvenile members, in September 2023 we had 288 juvenile members so a growth of 50% in just over a year with total club membership of 550 and climbing each week.
This growth is in no small part to our wonderful team of coaches who are nurturing our athletes and giving them space to enjoy getting fit in a fun way.
We have also had huge investment in our facilities in Horkan's Hill and are eagerly awaiting a tartan track in the coming months.
We are forever indebted to the generosity and support of so many wonderful businesses and individuals in our Community.

Congratulations to David Harper, Westport AC (representing Rice College), who took home a silver medal from this year’s Aviva SIAB (Schools’ International Athletic Board) u17 international, which was held at the Cardiff International Sports Stadium last Saturday.
The annual Aviva SIAB international brings together the top 300 under 17 athletes from the schools’ associations of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and it was an fantastic accomplishment for David to come second in the 1500m in a time of 3:57.19 – a huge new Personal Best for David.
