We have grown our membership to levels unforeseen when we set up in 2014. On our opening night, we had an attendance of 34 participants. In the year of 2016, we had a participation level of 421 members.
The growth and promotion of Track-Attack have seen members come from the wider North Tipperary area.
On any given night, we have a huge array of ages participating in our activities. Our youngest member is 6 while our more senior members are in their 70’s. The uniqueness of Track-Attack sees all ages participating and competing in the same event and each one of them have an equal chance of success.
We now have a huge family involvement in our activities which includes families of 3 generations.
We have developed a track facility which is 1.3km in distance. It is all off road which makes its completely safe for all users of the facility.
We have seen members who were new to the sport of running when the club was established to go on and participate in various events such as 10 mile road races, half and full marathons.
We have created one of the most popular and well attended annual road races on the Tipperary athletics calendar of events namely the Borrisoleigh 5km.
The achievement that we are most proud of is the improved levels of fitness and general health amongst all Track-Attackers. We are also extremely proud of the levels of friendship that have materialised while creating an unbreakable bond amongst our youngest to our most senior Track-Attackers.
