Junior Raid Runners
Advantage! Barrow Raiders Community Foundation deliver weekly athletics sessions from children and young people aged between 5 and 16 years.
Thanks to funding from Sport England, firstly in the form of our Barrow Bounce Back bid, and more recently, The National Lottery Community Fund for our Stepping Stones project, we can continue these sessions throughout 2022.
Athletics is a wonderful sport which develops ABCs agility, balance and coordination for young people to develop good technique for running, jumping and throwing.
The area has a number of athletics clubs and running clubs: Barrow Striders, Leven Valley AC and Walney Wind Cheetahs to name a few.
Our ambition is to increase the participation levels of young people within the sport of athletics, and show them the pathways available to them for track and field and running in this area. We have strong links with Barrow Striders AC and Walney Wind Cheetahs, with a growing group of our cohort joining the Striders in order to compete in local and county competitions.
