Facilities for athletics at the track include a Long- and Triple-Jump runway and pit, and a concrete Shot Putt circle.
The club also possesses a wide selection of equipment (e.g. starting blocks, hurdles, High-Jump bar and mats, and throwing implements of varying weights) for use at the training sessions.

There is a fee of 2 euro per individual & 3 euro per family payable weekly to attend club training.
Several of the older athletes in the club also travel regularly to venues further afield to participate in event-specific training sessions with athletes from other clubs.
