Give Athletics a go

Come down to the Linford Christie stadium for our annual athletics taster. This session is aimed as either an introduction to athletics to those of you who would just like to give it a go or as a chance for more experienced athletes to meet the athletics team and the club we train with. What to expect – This two-hour session will involve a brief introduction from the committee of cross country and athletics followed by two 30-minute sessions where you can take part in a wide range of athletics events. Each session is a beginner-friendly introduction to the activity where you can meet the coach, do some drills, and then give the event a go. We have events ranging from Javelin and pole vault to sprinting and middle-distance running. Experienced athletes don’t have to do their own event, if you’re an established 800m runner, why not try your hand at high-jump? The session will conclude with a short introduction from Thames Valley Harriers whom we do our athletics training with. Who are Thames Valley Harriers – TVH are one of the UK's best athletics clubs winning both the southern and national athletics league in 2022/23.
