Chelmsford Athletics Club are to host a “Miles of Miles Festival” in August. This will be a series of 1 mile track races for all abilities. There will be races for both male and female athletes in all age groups starting from age 8 and above.

There will be many club athletes who have not had the opportunity to race over the iconic distance of 1 mile, so this is a great chance. You’ll receive an official 1 mile time, an individual certificate of achievement and an event t-shirt.......all of this for only £10.

When?  Sunday August 11th 2019

Where?  Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre, Melbourne Park, Chelmsford

What time? The first race will be at 11am 

Entries are now live! https://endurancecui.active.com/new/events/60727952/select-race?_p=27475277610893745

Seven young athletes represented their counties in these championships, which had 320 runners in each race representing 42 counties/regions throughout the UK.

Coaches John Stow and Richard Thurston made the journey too, giving much-needed support to the athletes. We actually had eleven athletes selected but poor Jimmy Geller, Sam Sloan and Evan Johnson are sidelined with injury, while Kai Boggon was competing in Abu Dhabi in an international triathlon event.

The main feature of the day was the strength of the winds blowing across the course. In fact, before the races started you could hardly stand up in the winds. However, the course was a lot kinder than last year, with reasonably good going for the runners, albeit there were a few muddy bits to negotiate.
