Temporary Closure of Athletics Hub
27/10/2026 00:00, In Blog /
Welsh Athletics have been informed of the need to close the Athletics Hub site that facilitates Coach and Officials Education on behalf of the Home Countries. The following statement has been shared by England Athletics, who manage the site on behalf of the Home Countries.
Any specific queries relating to Welsh courses should be forwarded to education@welshathletics.org.
As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily taken our Athletics Hub offline while essential maintenance and security upgrades are completed. Therefore education course bookings and online modules will be affected during this time.
This decision has been made in response to a recently identified global security issue affecting certain PHP-based web environments. Whilst we have no evidence that our systems or customer data have been compromised, protecting the information entrusted to us remains our highest priority.
Taking the site offline allows us to implement recommended updates, undertake additional security checks, and ensure that appropriate protections are in place before services are restored.
We recognise that this may cause inconvenience and apologise for the disruption. However, we believe this cautious approach is the right course of action to safeguard customer data and minimise any potential cyber security risk.We are working closely with our technology partners and following recognised cyber security guidance throughout this process.
Further updates will be provided as appropriate, and we look forward to restoring full service as soon as it is safe to do so.
