Track & Field Introduction
Welcome to the Werrington Joggers track & field page
As a club our members predominantly compete in road races. However, Werrington Joggers also compete in various Track and Field competitions throughout the Summer months and interest from the membership continues to increase, both from Juniors and Seniors.
For the Juniors, it offers an extension to their schools athletics programmes and the chance to test themselves locally and for some regionally and nationally. Summer training is geared towards offering the Juniors the chance to record times and distances for comparison with the ESAA Awards Scheme and improving their performances at track and field.
For the Seniors it is often a break from the regular road races and a chance to try events that haven't been tried since leaving school.
