I recently met with the Committee of Hereford AC to see how we could work more collaboratively with them as clubs. They cater mainly for children and Under 18s but have a very small number of senior athletes who compete in the Senior Track and Field leagues. If any Wye Valley Runners are interested in competing second claim for Hereford AC, we would support it and they would be absolutely delighted. I'm guessing that our runners would mainly be interested in the longer track events, i.e. 800m, 1500m, 3k/5k and steeplechase, but I'm sure if yo wanted to do any of the track and field events, they would welcome you with open arms. This is a really good way of getting the feel of track running and would give you the same benefits as a good speed session. You might also find out that you're good at event that you have never tried before!

The next meeting is in Hereford on Saturday 2nd June, so if you are interested, contact me and I'll put you in touch with them.
