We are pleased to announce the opening of our new 400m, six-lane all-weather track & ancillary athletic facilities, launching at Bluecoat Sports Health & Fitness Club on Saturday 27th June.
We will be hosting a special launch event between 9am-12pm, with a range of free sessions. See what’s on. Prebooking is essential, with limited spaces available.
Kick things off with a warm-up led by three-time Olympian Stephanie Twell, then run as far as you can within one hour and be among the first to try out our fantastic new facilities. Afterwards, relax with refreshments and explore our stallholders.
You can also take part in our Beginners’ Run coaching sessions where our friendly coaches will introduce you to running. For the little ‘track stars’, there will be a Junior Race and Mini-Lympics sessions.
You can book now via the Bluecoat Sports app, or by calling Reception on 01403 247572.
