We have already featured a range of clubs from across Wales throughout this campaign this week we are looking at a couple what clubs have been doing to keep their members engaged and also do some great work for the wider community
Bridgend AC
Yesterday saw the culmination of the Bridgend AC 1, 2, 3, 4 Mile Challenge with club members posting their fastest times over the set distances each week. A great way to keep competitive spirits high and the good news is the challenge rolls over and the May Challenge starts all over again this week!!
This week sees the next 3 events in the club #HomeDecathlon #DecathlonChallenge which has been a great way for all ages to get active and stay involved. Coach Christopher Jeynes has been coordinating the activities and even challenging other clubs across Wales in the process!! Full information can be found on the Bridgend AC twitter feed
Parc Bryn Bach:
Have put heir own spin on the Cardiff 5k Race for Victory (usually held in Whitchurch) by creating the 'Which Church?' run in specially made T-Shirts to support the NHS. Some great and much-needed positivity at this time. Further information on the Parc Bryn Bach RC twitter feed…
NB - you have until tomorrow [7th May] to enter our first virtual 5k Challenge this weekend!
Zoom:
A number of clubs have been carrying out virtual training activities with their members via Zoom, including some inspirational sessions from 3M Gorseinon and head coach for Cardiff Archers Phil Warwicker leading activities for younger members. Congratulations to both clubs for innovating, using technology and finding ways to connect with their members.
