Meltham Athletic Club is a friendly running club based at Meltham Community Centre off Mean Lane in Meltham, West Yorkshire. Club training nights take place on Tuesday evenings at 19:15 and Thursday evenings at 18:15, with groups catering for all abilities and sessions usually lasting between one and one and a half hours. Training routes take in a mix of roads and tracks through the countryside and villages around Holmfirth, Marsden, Lockwood, Slaithwaite and Netherthong, and night runs often follow roads without pavements, so reflective clothing and a head torch are needed. The club also stages its own races, including the Cop Hill Fell Race, the Meltham (Tough) 10K and a new Meltham AC Tough Trail Race on 1 November 2026.
