Joshua Cheptegei not only clinched the gold in the men's 10,000 meters at the Olympics but also shattered the Olympic record with a time of 26:43.14. His incredible late surge left the competition in the dust, proving once more why he’s a force to be reckoned with on the track. As he wraps up his Olympic career, Cheptegei's legacy is cemented among the greatest in distance running. 🇺🇬

Economical running technique.

Can we tempt you to take part in the Pub to Pub Walk in August?

It's a 12 mile walk through East Yorkshire’s beautiful countryside, shoreline, villages and towns, with well-deserved refreshment stops at six pubs along the way.

It's also an opportunity to raise money for local causes including Dove House Hospice and Fitmums & Friends.

Why not get a group of family, friends or club mates together and enjoy an active day out?

Registration is £20 and includes a Pub to Pub t-shirt to wear on the day, along with a medal upon completion of your walk. We would also ask you to raise £25 for one or more of the local causes.

Huge effort 👏

It was a beautiful evening for being out on the track with the Costello Juniors tonight. A good warmup followed by some endurance laps that really seemed to tire most out! Only 4 athletes managed the final lap. Great work on the discus throwing using the cage and concentrating on some good technique. Well done everyone, it was a good start to the new half term. Thanks Natalie for always doing a fab job, I'll miss you next week!
