About Us
scottishathletics is the national governing body for athletics in Scotland.

Equality, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of the work that scottishathletics leads.

The member clubs play a crucial role in growing and developing the sport and, along with the volunteer workforce, they are integral to the sport’s future success.
