Poole Runners: prioritising fun to retain their members

The summer is a great time for track and field. The sun is shining, the summer season is underway, and athletes of all ages can enjoy our sport. However, September often poses a different challenge, as children head back to school and focus turns away from sport. We recently caught up with Poole Runners on the Dorset coastline to learn about how they have seen such fantastic growth in members of all ages and abilities. The club have smashed their seven out of seven Club Standards, and are making a real difference in their local community.
