Who We Are

Pembroke Athleta Athletics & Triathlon P.A.A.T.) was first set up back in the 1970s and is the biggest local Athletics Club. As the name itself denotes it is based in Pembroke, Malta. P.A.A.T.’s main focus is on athletics, particularly in the T&F Events, but it is also very strongly represented in Road Running and in Triathlon. In recent years a Gymnastics sector was also introduced.

P.A.A.T. can be considered as the Home of Local Champions in Athletics and can boast of a string of more than 20 consecutive Athletics Club League Titles in both the Male & Female Categories, and several other titles in the Youth Sector. Year after year P.A.A.T. provides the Local Athletics National Team with the majority of the athletes, and it’s Member Athletes annually figure prominently in the lists of awards handed out both in athletics and local sports in general.

We, at the club are somewhat ambitious and always look forward to improve and develop further, and creating and maximising on opportunities to help our athletes develop their strengths and skills are always at the forefront of our strategy.

The year 2018, marks an important landmark in our history, as this was the year when P.A.A.T. joined the European Athletics Promotion (EAP) Circuit, making it the only club in Malta to form part of a European Circuit in any sport.

Athletics

Training sessions at Pembroke, Marsa, and Imriehel. This is internationally known as the QUEEN of sport. Disciplines that make up athletics are the jumps, the throws, sprinting and endurance running events. All of us at some time in our life are drawn to these basic physical activities starting at and especially in childhood. The athletics section has girls and boys of all ages training with the club.

Triathlon

This sport discipline takes in swimming, cycling and running together. Our Pembroke Athleta tri-athletes train hard to achieve personal bests in all these disciplines. This endurance sport involves team events and relays as well as individual competition, both at short distance and the longer triathlon events. The Olympic triathlon and Iron man are the most popular.

Pembroke Athleta has a group of promising, experienced lady and men triathletes coming up. Most of them train with coaches specializing in triathlete events, giving particular attention to their performances.

Internationally qualified coaches guide them through their first experience in all the events and later help them to specialize in those events of their choice and aptitude.
