NABGC UK CLUB ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023

As a member of the Durham Association of Boys and Girls Clubs (DABGC), Sunderland Harriers have the rare opportunity of Club competition for younger athletes.

Until Covid 19 intervened we would have been invited to enter the DABGC County Championships giving the Club a chance to win Age Group trophies, and athletes the chance to win individual medals and of representing County Durham in the National Association of Boys and Girls Clubs (NABGC) National Championships.

Circumstances this year, as then, have forced NABGC to organise the Championships in a different form, that of the UK Club Athletics Championships where the Club can still win Age Group trophies, and athletes have the chance to win individual medals . This year's Championships are to be held at Shildon Running and Athletics Club on Sunday 2nd July 2023 starting at noon.

Points mean prizes, so we are looking for as many athletes as possible who wish to represent Sunderland Harriers, hopefully in as many events as possible. Additionally any parents, guardians, and anyone else who can officiate either Qualified or Unqualified are invited to offer their time.

Please contact Club coaches or officials as quickly as possible and certainly by Friday 23rd June 2023.
