Founded in 1952, Aberdeen Amateur Athletic Club is a Scottish Athletics-accredited, Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. AAAC’s approximately 400 athletes, aged 9 to 70-plus, train and compete in track and field events, cross country, hill, and road running. Over the years, many have participated and earned medals in multiple Scottish, British, European, and world championships as well as the Commonwealth Games, Paralympics, and Olympics.
AAAC hosts training sessions and competitions year-round at Aberdeen Sports Village, providing complete indoor and outdoor training facilities for track and field and everything necessary for cross-training.
Frame running (formerly race running) originated in Denmark in the 1990s. It is an athletics event in which individuals with impaired mobility can walk or run using a special running frame called an ace runner. The running frame is a 3-wheeled frame with handlebars, a chest support and a saddle, but no pedals.
