Welcome to the Bideford Amateur Athletic Club, locally known as Bideford Blues. Predominantly a running and rowing club offering senior and junior recreational and competitive opportunities. Friendly, sociable and warmly welcoming members of all abilities; the clubhouse offers members excellent training and social facilities.
The club was formed in 1870 as a gymnastic club, in 1897 the Rowing Section was born and in 1980 Geoff Fanson and Barry White founded the Harriers Running Section.
Bideford AAC is run by volunteers with all coaches, officials, committee members and helpers giving their time for free.
