The British Athletics Supporters Club (BASC) is the official body for fans of athletics in the UK. BASC liaises closely with the governing bodies of the sport, representing the views of supporters. The Club creates opportunities for members to meet athletes, coaches and officials, as well as making available priority and, where possible, discounted ticketing for major UK events. Members are kept informed via this website, emails and Backtrack, the club's magazine published three times a year.

More information is available on each of these aspects:

An important part of BASC's activities is to support grassroots athletics which it achieves in the following ways:-

BASC Awards - Annual awards to young athletes (both able bodied and IPC); special awards for outstanding performances by unfunded athletes; and much more
Bursaries - for coaches and support staff who demonstrate that funding will assist the development of youth athletics
Sponsoring prizes - for young athletes at single discipline events such as Vault Britain and The Javelin Carnival
The club occasionally produces limited merchandise for members. From time to time BASC also looks for commercial arrangements that benefit members such as discounted subscriptions to Athletics Weekly.
