Aberdeen AAC Championships

The Aberdeen Athletics Club Championships, scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026 at the Aberdeen Sports Village, promises to be an exciting day of competition and camaraderie. The entry deadline is Sunday, September 6, 2026.
This championship event features a variety of track and field events suitable for athletes ranging from young competitors in the U12-U16 categories to master athletes. Entry fees are £6 per individual event, with an exception for the combined four-event package for U12-U16 participants which costs just £6. Master events do not require any entry fee.
The day's program begins at 12:00 PM with discus throw competitions for both men and women in the masters category. Track events kick off shortly after, starting with sprints like the 100m races for U12-U18 athletes followed by middle-distance runs including the 800m and 1500m races.
Field event enthusiasts will have plenty to enjoy as well, from shot put competitions in various age groups to high jump and long jump events. The day also includes javelin throws that add an element of excitement with their explosive launches across the field.
A notable highlight is the presentation ceremony at 4:00 PM where medals are awarded to all U12-U16 athletes who have completed four qualifying events. This segment celebrates the achievements and hard work of young talent in a festive atmosphere.
Participants should note that registration deadlines vary by age group; for instance, U12-U16 competitors must register before 12:30 PM while older participants need to sign up half an hour prior to their first event start time. Additionally, all athletes are encouraged to wear colored vests instead of club-specific attire.
To facilitate smooth entry and access on the day of the event, it's essential that everyone—whether athlete, coach, or spectator—is a member of Aberdeen Sports Village, part of its Passport scheme, or has pre-registered their attendance according to provided instructions. This ensures efficient management of participants throughout the championships.
The AAAC Championships not only provide an opportunity for athletes to showcase their skills but also offer a platform for community engagement and sportsmanship among competitors from various age groups. With a rich mix of events tailored to different skill levels, this championship is set to be a memorable day in Aberdeen's sporting calendar.
This event is held under the SAL permit, ensuring compliance with regional athletic regulations.
