It’s always Time to Meet and Compete

Athlete Comments & Reviews
“The older athletes are so inspiring!”
“Athletics is really important in daily life, to see older people running, my age, and they are still competing very strongly is very encouraging.”
“Sport is fitness, health and community!”
Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.
“We love to see all the other sports as well!”
“We try and attend different sports depending on what’s going on and depending on what we are doing in terms of sightseeing.”
