Launch Day
Saturday 27th June 2026
We are pleased to share 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.
The day will include a social ‘Fun Run’ with options to run your choice of distances. Finish up your run with some refreshments as you visit a range of local stallholders, or take part in our Beginner Run 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.
Booking will open on Monday 11th May via the Bluecoat Sports app.

Available for iOS and Android, the app supports seamless data capture and performance analysis, with full functionality available at no additional cost.
Simply secure your smartphone in a running belt on the lower back and the app will provide timing and step information. After your run, you see your results immediately.
