The club is once again doing a 12 week course for anyone interested in taking up running. The aim is to get you fit enough to take part in the Race for Life in June, although you can join the course whether you plan to do Race for Life or not, and whether you’re male or female (Race for Life is a women only event!).
The course starts on Tuesday March 22nd, at 6pm, and will continue every Tuesday & Thursday at the same time for the subsequent 12 weeks. The cost of the course is £30.00, which works out to £1.25 per session. Great value and you will also get a free running schedule thrown in with that!
If you’re interested come along to Aldersley Leisure Village on March 23rd at 6pm, or if you want to know more call Trish on 07929 583647 or Anna on 07962 014587.
The second open meeting of the Midlands Indoor Athletics took place last Sunday 21st February at the NIA in Birmingham. Once again many of our young athletes turned out to take part, with more great results and personal records on the day. Special mention goes to Alex Nwenwu who won the heat of the 60m hurdles in a time of 7.80s, which was announced on the day as being the third fastest time of all-time for the men’s U20 age-group in that event.

Another busy weekend for the athletes taking part in the indoor season, with the two-day Midlands Championships event at the NIA. There are too many winners and personal records to list here, so take a look at the resultsмаси и столове and see for yourselves how well these athletes did. With up to 3 of our athletes taking part in some of the finals, Wolves & Bilston young athletes are going from strength to strength.
Here are the final results from the Cross country season – race result and final standing in the league. Painful reading I know, but lets look forward to a much more successful campaign next year and a swift return to the top division. Despite the results this year, the club has the capability to stay in Div 1 in future, but we do need the club as a whole to pull together and get much better strength in depth so we aren’t so reliant on the usual suspects carrying the club.

Well done to all the athletes who took part in last weekend’s Birmingham Games two-day event at the NIA. There were some great performances by several of our club athletes, including some fantastic ‘personal best’ results for many individuals. Full results can be downloaded here.
It’s a busy few weeks for indoor athletics, with our athletes once again representing the club back the NIA next weekend (13th/14th February) for the MCCA Championships. Watch out for results on here next week.
Wolves and Bilston had a good turn out with excellent results across various age groups at Stafford Common on Saturday 20 January. The age group results were as follows:
Under 13 girls – 9th
Senior Women – 9th
Senior Men – 12th
However, we weren’t able to fill out a few other age groups on the day, which is disappointing as we can do better and achieve notable success in future. Hope to see more club members at future events!!!!
