England Athletics - supporting athletics clubs

Supporting our athletics and running clubs is a major priority of England Athletics. Our athletics clubs and runnings club are the lifeblood of our sport. Without a strong club infrastructure then we would never have any Olympic champions or chances for people to work hard to be the best that they can be.
