MKAC November 2026 induction

Marshall Milton Keynes Athletic Club is running its November induction, a four-week series of sessions for new athletes and anyone thinking about joining. It kicks off on Saturday 7 November and runs every Saturday through to 28 November, with each session lasting an hour from 9 am to 11 am. The whole thing takes place at the club on Soskin Drive in Stantonbury, MK14 6BN.

It's a pre-set programme of four 60-minute sessions, and the club describes it as a way to give new athletes a taste of athletics, its structures and events, and a first-hand exploration of their own movements and abilities. It's aimed primarily at the youth development age group, 11 and over — school year 7 up — and each athlete needs to be registered individually. Once the four sessions are done, an athlete can join the club, and the coaches will point them toward the regular sessions that best suit their skills and athleticism.

It's a good way to ease in if you're not sure where you fit yet. Rather than jumping straight into a specific squad, you get a month to see how it works and find your feet before committing. If you've got a young person at home who's keen to get into athletics but doesn't know where to start, this is exactly the kind of thing that takes the guesswork out of it.

It costs £11, which is the equivalent of one month's membership. If you decide to join the club afterwards, that amount is subtracted from your annual membership, so it doesn't end up being an extra cost. Just keep in mind it's non-refundable. The sessions run on Saturdays, 7 to 28 November, from 9 am to 11 am at Marshall Milton Keynes Athletic Club, Soskin Drive, Stantonbury, MK14 6BN.
