The committee and all members, would like to Thank Andy and all the Clark family, for raising over a £1000 recently.
Andy one of our longest serving members recently and very sadly lost his brother Alex who was also a former member and friend.
The collection was done in memory of Alex RIP.
Alex was the person who started Calton athletic’s music workshop. A keen guitarist but also a fantastic harmonica player.
His friendship and talent will be sorely missed.
Once again we would like to Thank all the Clark family and their friends for raising this fantastic amount of cash for our club during such a sad and difficult time.
Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with all the Clark family.

We would like to congratulate Calton Athletic’s first Ironman.
This story begins with two of our members training hard over the best part of the last year.
Through countless training sessions of swimming, cycling and running together these two lads grafted side by side.

Doe and Mark entered the water amongst 2500 competitors and both completed the swim of 2.4 miles in waterloo lake Roundhay Park, in fantastic times.
Out the water and into transition and onto the bikes. They both cycled and completed the 112 mile circuit taking in the best part of 7000 ft in climbs. Unfortunately Mark was timed out after completing the cycle.

Doe carried on starting the 26.2 mile run this consisted of running round a 7 mile loop 3 times and then a 5.2 run to the finish line. Smashing it in a superb time of 15 hrs 35 mins 54sec. Earning him the title of The first Calton Ironman.

Doe would like to thank firstly. Christian “the crazy Dane” who helped him over the last five mile of this epic task and also Peter who took on the task of transporting the lads and the bikes and sorting the accommodation and Big Mark who trained side by side with him all the way through this journey he would also like to thank all family friends and Calton members who cheered him over the finish line.

It’s clear to see from the pictures how proud Donald’s wife, kids, mum, Dad and Brother are.
We as Calton Athletic could not be any prouder and we are sure our late founder Brycie would be too.
We are also sure it goes without saying all the family and friends of these two warriors will be extremely proud.
Congratulations Donald (Doe)
C’mon the Calton .
