In 2014 the Athletics Ireland membership continued to grow reaching a record high of 54,000 up 10% on 2013 with 21 new clubs formed. Since 2007 the membership has more than doubled (up 120%). This has resulted from the strong partnership and collaboration between the executive and the volunteers. It has also been driven by offering programmes that target every sector of society and which meet a wide range of needs including Forest Feast Little Athletics (5-10 year old) and GloHealth Fit4life (adult recreational runners) and by providing national competition pathway from 11 years olds to 80+ years (Juvenile to Masters). Athletics is a true Sport for Life.
