Windmilers’ participant session rules (20th July 2020)

Submitted by Anne Davies on Mon, 20/07/2020 - 16:53

England Athletics advises that people should continue to train and exercise in groups of up to six adhering to social distancing. We recommend that members who run in their own informal groups apply the club's participant session rules. Although less restrictive guidelines now exist for some situations, these club rules are intended to protect the safety of participants and the general public, and to preserve a positive reputation for the running community and the Wimbledon Windmilers club.
