England Athletics celebrates National Volunteer Award winners

Saturday evening saw England Athletics celebrate the winners of the 2023 National Volunteer Awards.

All eyes on the Podium 5k and England 5k champs!

In the world of super shoes and electronic pace lights, Podium 5ks owe their success to a less fashionable concept – tradition! But occasionally the old ways really are the best and can provide all the expertise and inspiration needed for what has proved to be a massively successful race series. ‘Put the athlete first’ is the Podium 5k’s philosophy. And that’s exactly what the SportsShoes.com Podium Festival on March 16th in Leicester will be all about when it hosts this year’s England senior and U20 5k Champs.
