Helping you to deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic
Welsh Athletics are pleased to announce a series of three online training sessions (webinars) to help our clubs and groups deal with the challenges we are all facing because of the coronavirus pandemic.
At Welsh Athletics, we do not have the answers, but we feel that it is important that we openly all share our thoughts and experiences from across Wales and the rest of the world. We have teamed up with Svend Elkjaer of the Sports Marketing Network, who some you will have engaged with through our annual conferences in recent years.
Sports Marketing Network are currently running webinars for people involved with community sport from across the world, particularly on the issues that we are facing due to the global pandemic crisis, as a result, he has developed considerable experience and understanding of the issue and has also come across some great examples of clubs doing some great work.
The webinars are open to all fully affiliated athletics clubs and members as well as registered Run Wales Running Groups and their members. To book onto the webinars please use the links provided below:
