Training
We have training groups and coaches covering all the events in track and field. We train regularly on a Monday and Wednesday at the Loughborough University track and during the winter we also hire some of the indoor HIPAC facilities for those groups not brave enough to face the weather.

We are extremely proud of our Open Track & Field Events that we put on through the summer, and of the volunteers, coaches and officials who help make them such a success.
