Tonight was exactly what Burnley Athletic Club is all about 💙❤️

Athletes, parents, guardians, coaches and volunteers all came together for our Walk / Jog / Run & Talk event as part of Mental Health Week — and what a lovely evening it was.

It was fantastic to see people of all ages chatting, laughing, meeting new faces and supporting one another around the track. From our youngest juniors to parents and coaches, the sense of togetherness throughout the evening was brilliant.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, joined in and helped make the event such a success. Events like this remind us that Burnley AC is far more than just athletics — it’s a community, a support network and a family.

Together we move. Together we talk. Together we achieve 💙❤️

Setup and ready to go at a sunny but (as always) windy Lancaster.

🌤️ The sun may have been shining, but in true Blackpool fashion it was chilly and windy for the Lancashire Track & Field Championships this weekend!

Two fantastic days of competition saw our Burnley AC athletes rise to the challenge, producing some outstanding performances and doing the club proud with their commitment, focus and support for one another 💙❤️
