Veterans' Athletics at London Heathside

Have you heard of the Heathside Vets’ teams. They’ve had a bit of success in recent years and are looking to recruit.

Vets are defined as anyone over the age of 35, also known as Veterans or Masters Athletes.

Our fixtures this year are all on Monday evenings starting at 6:30 and not too far away:

Match 1 July 5th at Stevenage SG2 9PB

Match 2 July 26th at Harrow HA3 6SW

Match 3 September 6th Lee Valley N9 0AR

This year , because of all the disruption, there will be no team scoring so all the pressure is taken off.

Perhaps it is a long time since you did a track event, or perhaps you never have, so to ease any of you nervous about trying we will have an introductory session on Thursday 20th May between 7:15 and 9pm, alongside regular training.

It will be very low key, just a few of us, a stopwatch and a tape measure taking part in

100m / 1500m / Long Jump and Shot Putt

Just to get the hang of a track and field meeting.

Vets competitions are completely open to all, no standards are set.

Participants are divided into 5 year age groups, so you take part with others of a similar age. The club has both men and women taking part in all age groups from 35 - 40 up to 70 – 75.

If you’d like to take part in the try out please let one of us know
