WEST CHESHIRE Athletic Club is preparing to host two events within five days.

The purple and gold-vested community outfit will organise the second of it’s Spring Open Track and Field Meetings at the Ellesmere Port Sports Village Athletics Track this Saturday from 10am, and then stage the annual Chester Spring Five Miles Road Race from Cheshire County Sports Club, Upton, on Wednesday, (April 10), 7pm start.

“It’s a busy week for the club who are looking forward to welcoming runners, jumpers and throwers to our local athletics track at Ellesmere Port Sports Village on Saturday before hosting our popular five miles road race on Wednesday night,” club secretary, Dennis Wall said.

“Our first Spring Open Track and Field Meeting a fortnight ago proved a success despite the wintry weather conditions, and we are hoping this weekend’s fixture, which features one mile races, will be another successful day.

“The two open meetings act as a nice taster to a busy summer calendar of local athletics, and the Chester Spring Five Miles Road Race normally attracts up to 500 runners on a fast and mainly flat course.”

Based in the north west, Tom is working with England Athletics and Welsh athletics to promote race walking to new athletes and coaches.

“I’m hoping there will be some kind of incentive for any clubs who succeed in creating a new race walk coach and group,” Tom said.

“The aim of the training sessions is to boost exposure, participation and competition in the north west, and if successful I will role this scheme out to other areas of the country.

“I’m pretty much volunteering my time and doing it off my own back so support from clubs is greatly appreciated.”
