An army of newcomers attended Bingley Harriers’ first outdoor training session of the season at Beckfoot School, which attracted almost 100 participants.
England Athletics’ Try Athletics Day was held to mark 100 days to go to the 2012 London Olympics.
The club offered training in sprinting, long jump, middle distance, javelin and discus, with each group taking turns, and there were 59 juniors at Beckfoot School, plus 30 at nearby Bradford & Bingley Sports Club.
Sessions will continue throughout the summer on Tuesdays (7pm-8pm for school Year Three upwards) and on Thursdays for the older, more accomplished athletes.
With the track and field season about to start, Bingley Harriers are seeking new recruits, with the junior distance runners at the sports club expected to be able to run for four miles.
