Individual/Self Training

We are happy to let you know that from Tuesday July 6th, members no longer need to book in advance and receive approval to use the track for individual training. 

1. For each visit, ensure that you are in compliance with all current Government and HSE guidelines for outdoor exercise. If you are unable to answer “NO” to all the COVID questions below, then do not visit the track or the club.

2. Check the track booking calendar to see if the track is available. If the track has been reserved for an Athletics event or for Senior/Fit4Life  or Underage training sessions, then it may not be available and will be marked “busy” in the calendar at that time. 

3. When you visit the track, tag your fob on the reader on entry, even if the gate is open or you are with others. This will allow us to keep a record of track users as required by COVID guidelines. If you need a fob, you can obtain one online by paying a €10 deposit at: Club/Society Registrations – Dunboyne Athletic Club (clubforce.com)

4. If necessary, members can also record their attendance online. If you tagged your fob on your visit, this is not required.
