On your marks...

I'm excited to be given this opportunity by the Daily Post, the leading newspaper in North Wales. With it's wide circulation and popularity it gives me the platform to inform and encourage people of all age groups to discuss and hopefully participate in this Sport. Over the coming months I hope to give you an insight into the structure, latest news and important issues within the region. North Wales has a great tradition in Athletics, Cross Country and Road Racing, with some great clubs and fantastic facilities.
We also have very talented athletes who have the ability to play a major part in the future of Welsh and British Athletics, so it's more important than ever that we maximise the potential that North Wales has to offer.
Although the area has a healthy participation rate, it is vitally important to keep attracting new people of all ages and abilities to the Sport, and this blog is one way of trying to raise the profile of Athletics in North Wales.
