Welcome to Phoenix Athletic Club Nestled in the heart of Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, Phoenix Athletic Club has been igniting athletic potential since 2006. We are a passionate, not-for-profit track and field club dedicated to developing athletes of all ages - from energetic juniors just finding their stride, to competitive seniors chasing personal bests, to masters athletes proving that ambition has no age limit. Our summer season runs mid-October through to the end of March, with highly qualified coaching, quality equipment, and fantastic facilities available to every registered member. Whether you're 7 or 70, a seasoned competitor or lacing up for the first time, Phoenix Athletic Club is a place where you belong. What sets us apart is our commitment to quality over quantity. With roughly 40 active registered athletes, every member receives focused, high-calibre coaching in a close-knit, family-friendly environment. That culture of support and respect runs deep here - and it shows in our competitive results at both regional and national level. We're proud to be a family club in every sense. Younger siblings are warmly welcomed as they grow into the sport, and parents are encouraged to get involved too - including on the track. Ready to run with us? Spaces at Phoenix Athletic Club are limited and in demand. Don't miss your chance to be part of a club where athletes thrive, families connect, and champions are made.
