Many summer competitions cancelled
We hope you’re all keeping safe and well.
I’m sure you’re aware that England Athletics will only let summer track and field meetings go ahead if safe to do so. With this in mind, many summer events have already been cancelled. We have also cancelled the Club Champs on 17/18 April.
The website’s fixture list is being updated regularly. (We are now on v7.) It can be accessed on the ‘Fixtures’ tab on our website: https://rscac.co.uk/race-diary/
Stay safe all.
