It has been a long wait over the last couple of weeks however today is the day that Firebreak lockdown in Wales ends and clubs and groups across the country will return to training activities under the auspices of the Welsh Athletics Return to Activity guidance.
This is a huge boost for the sport and the easing of restrictions will allow for a much wider return to activity and increase opportunities for all age groups across all parts of Wales. To further support the return to activity and address any additional concerns, Welsh Government have produced a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions document.
Throughout the firebreak period we bought you the #MADFirebreakChallenge and it was fantastic to see how many people across Wales got involved. We all know how important it is to get out and get active when you can a from both a physical and mental well-being perspective. The challenge looked to encourage as many people as possible to get out and enjoy the fresh air with 13 different themed days of activity. Details of what happened throughout that period can be found on the Welsh Athletics Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, just search using the hastag: #MADFirebreakChallenge
