ELITE INDOOR ATHLETICS RETURNS TO NW10 – Connie Henry’s Track Academy is delighted to announce the staging of their second Indoor sprints and hurdles competition on Saturday 21st December. Willesden Sports Centre will play host to the event, making this only the second fully accredited indoor athletics competition in the venue’s history.
This unique opportunity brings the whole community together to compete on a level footing with race conditions and an electronic timing system experienced by the world’s elite. Without any age or gender barriers, exclusive entry standards or pre-selected competitors, members of the local community with no prior experience will rub shoulders with internationals and Olympians. Anyone from the age of 10 can enter the 60m flat sprint, with 60m hurdles reserved for Under 20 and Senior athletes.
Olympic sprinter Laura Turner “had a great time competing at Track Academy’s Open Sprints and walked away with a big smile on my face”. As a personal trainer herself, Laura shares the value of “open” competitions with Connie Henry’s Track Academy as encouragement for adults to get involved in the sport from a fitness point of view. “At the inaugural event it was great to see a local competition attracting so many athletes, young and old”. The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist feels “competitions like this are important for the future of the sport and the continuation of a thriving athletics club culture in this country”.
If you’d like to discover just how you fare up against trained athletes or would like to experience what international athletes go through in the lead up to a race, come down and join in. It’s that simple!
