Another Birthday celebration this week,
Well done to Davie “the main man” reaching an outstanding 36 years in recovery.
From as far back as trips to the World Cup in 1990, A double Scottish cup winner with Calton athletic football team.
As well as being our founder Davie Bryce’s right hand man. He has now went on to take charge of the group over the last 14 year.
Guiding us over full and half marathons, Tough mudder, several West Highland Ways. Austria 2012 and Everest base Camp 2016 and many other events/trips in between.
We are sure Davie would like to thank many people who have helped the club over the years
Way to many to mention (yous know who you are)
He’s not only is the director of the club he is also A mentor and a rock and for us all to lean on, constantly there with help and advice for every member old and new.
Davie is constantly training with the lads these days sharing his knowledge and wisdom
Which is invaluable to us all.
This great club would not be where it is today without him.
Although we know not 1 person can be bigger than the club it would be hard to find someone who’s played a bigger part in holding the club together over these recent years.
We are sure all his family and friends must be extremely proud of him and we are privileged to have him as our gaffer.
Keep up the good work
Do Well Doubt Not.
C’mon the Calton.

Another T-shirt celebration this week.
Well done to Ronan reaching three months in recovery earning his Calton T-shirt.
Completing the live it for Lee sprint triathlon in August.He then took part in the The West Highland way mid September,
He also completed the Great Scottish run Glasgows half marathon in the start of October.
These are fantastic achievements for someone so young coming into recovery.
He’s already committed to the Edinburgh Marathon next year and will go on to set many more goals.
We are sure all his family and friends are as proud of him as we are.
Keep up the good work

Another T-shirt celebration.
We are sure our founder Brycie would be proud of this one.
Well done to Gibby earning his 3 months t-shirt at Calton Athletic.
A fantastic achievement.
This is a guy who came through our program in the 90’s alongside guys like Big Mainy, Andy Clark and Colin Nelson aswell as countless others. Without these guys we are sure the club wouldn’t be where it is today.
Although he has a good bit more than 3 months in recovery, he knows all to well the rules at the Calton.. 3 months in earning a T-shirt.
In that time he’s done numerous hill walks including the cobbler and has a love for camping outdoors across Scotland.
Constantly at his Calton Meetings he’s also given back to the community through his other related work.
We are sure all his family and friends will be as proud of him as we are.
Keep up the good work

Another birthday celebration.
Well done to Harvey reaching his first year in recovery.
This has took some effort and commitment constantly at his meetings.
He started off doing the Santa dash last year a 10k run around the Glasgow Green.
Then after doing our famous carman hill New Year’s Day run, he went back up the following week to do it again with some of the lads who had missed it.
Constantly working hard on himself Harvey then went on to do The Edinburgh half marathon at the end of May. Also taking part in the Live it for Lee triathlon.
He then started training throughout the months ahead for the West highland way and completed this with the group in September.
We are sure all his family and friends will be as extremely proud of him as we are.
Keep up the good work Brother.

Another Birthday celebration this week.
Well done to our very own mountain man Peter. reaching 21 year in recovery.
Smashing so many things along the way. Countless amounts of half marathons, 11 full marathons, tough mudder, Three peak challenge, Half iron man, 6 trips over the West Highland Way, Sprint triathlons and as well as leading the 2012 Austria crew he was also a massive part of the 2016 trip to Everest Base Camp.
This Guy doesnt just have a love for the mountains he also started bagging munro’s and has reached 161 to date.
All this while helping others into recovery, by taking people early doors to the gym giving them good training regimes, and always being there on the phone. This man is what Calton Athletic is all about.

There’s been another celebration this month !
Calton Athletic held its award ceremony presentation and anniversary dance to mark its 40th year in recovery and what a year this year has been.
We kicked off 2025 with our late founder Davie Bryce’s famous New Years day 6 miler over the Carman hill in kardross.
Then to the start of February and onto our 16 week training programme for the Edinburgh marathon in May.
Then onto June with a 56 mile ultra marathon
Followed quickly by the Father’s Day run.
After that it was the Iron man Leeds in July . Smashing a 2.4 mile swim. 112 mile cycle and a 26.2 marathon.
The lads then went on to take 19 members over the West Highland way in September . Some of these lads racking up their 6th time completing this event
But more importantly some of them on their first time.
Finishing it on a Thursday and with sore feet we took to the dance floor on the Friday for our 40th anniversary dance hosted by the gaffer The main man himself Davie Main.
A fantastic evening for all our families and friends not just to celebrate recovery but to celebrate putting our families back together.
Also marking the whole group and its achievements throughout the whole year.
Proving that the club doesn’t just carry Davie Bryce’s message of hope but also his legacy into the future.
A few of the lads finished the month off with the Loch Ness marathon and we still have the Great Scottish run to complete next week.
We are sure you will agree this has been one fantastic year.
With thoughts of our friends Wullie Burns, Tam Chawner, and Davie “bull” Bryce we can only hope we’ve done them and all their families proud.
A day at a time here’s to the next 40 year

The lads started and completed The West Highland way over 5 days this week.
What a remarkable group of 19 recovering alcoholic and Addicts.
Not only beginning but completing the whole trip lead by the usual Duo Doe and Peter, keeping the group positive and full of laughter throughout the journey.
This is the knowledge that was passed down through the ranks from our late founder Davie Bryce and never forgetting our very own wullie Burns, through to our existing gaffer Davie Main, who has lead this trip several times in the past.
What these guys have done for recovery not only in their own communities but also the surrounding Glasgow area if not Scotland is remarkable. There is also others within the group who could be mentioned Colin, Big Tam, Big Mark, and Ross with plenty more coming behind them (you know who they are)
What a way to celebrate our 40th Anniversary at Calton Athletic. Leading 19 men in recovery over The West Highland way Successfully.
We can only hope this would make Brycie proud not only carrying a message of hope but also carrying on his legacy.
We would like to Thank you our followers not only for your continued support over all our events this last year but for being consistent over the decades.
