Steeplechase training at Bury St Edmunds

Steeplechase development events increases participation

Steeplechase is an event that England Athletics is committed to develop, so we have delivered a number of development workshops for both coaches and athletes. The focus on this event has enabled more athletes to compete with developmental opportunities in league and national competitions - which has led to an increase in participants. Development events were recently held in Hexham and Bury St Edmunds.

Finding her place on the track: Katerina's officiating journey

Katerina Sobey came into athletics through her children training at North Devon Athletics Club. A club coach approached her at a local meeting and asked for some help.
