“The Performance Running Summer Athletics Camp is a great vehicle for getting kids really excited about the sport of track and field athletics. They get a chance to not just take part in the various athletics disciplines but actually train for those events, just like a top athlete would in a fantastic setting with some of the UK’s leading athletes and coaches."
