Regular Training Schedule
Statement from Chair of Keswick Athletic Club
It is with regret that I have to announce that Keswick Athletic Club have cancelled all club races and training planned for 2020 until further notice.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly but given the serious situation facing the UK over coming months and the governmental measures to limit the impact of the Covid-19 coronavirus, it is one we feel compelled to take.
Tuesdays & Thursdays: Main club-training sessions
