The second race selected to help focus and develop our athletes is National Young Athletes Road Race Championships. This is a championship event organised by our sporting body Scottish Athletics.
The event is on Saturday 18th March at Battery Park, Eldon Street, Greenock, PA16 7QG. This is a pre-entry race and I will need names by Wednesday 1st March. Race fees covered by club.
My hope is all the regular Parkrun attendees and who attend the Saturday session will seriously consider this event. If you can do a 5k parkrun and train twice a week you can do this.
I hope that we can fill the field with Calderglen teams in all the age groups as we have over 20 young athletes in the club who could do this race. Our strongest age groups are under 13 Girls & Boys and Under 15 Girls. As well as individual prizes there is a team prize for each team of 3 young athletes in each age group.
Both U13 races cover 2500 metres (2.5k)
The race criteria (apart from set age groups) is all athletes need to be registered with Scottish Athletics (see link for more info: http://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/membership/) and have a club running vest (see Richard).
