Announcement: Southern Athletics League (“SAL”) 2023 season

Our club members are becoming more familiar with the cadence of the fixtures across the full calendar year. Road racing and XC often occupies the autumn and winter months, leading to the marque spring marathon season.

VPH&THAC has a long and proud track and field heritage with strong junior teams and a current objective to renew interest across the senior events over the summer period. Alf Vickers, Cornelia Abe-Minale and the core track & field coaching and admin team invest countless hours to support our athletes, and are always willing to welcome new interested runners.
