Halifax Aviva Fun in Athletics Competition
This annual competition was held on the 22 February 2009 at the North Bridge Leisure Centre in Halifax. A 30-strong team of Under 11s from Harrogate Borough Council's Sports Hall Athletics programme took part from the Harrogate Granby, Boroughbridge and Nidderdale clubs. Harrogate competed against eleven other areas across the Yorkshire and Humberside region, taking part in a mixture of points-scoring and fun events in track and field such as the obstacle relay, hurdles relay, target throw, javelin and long jump. The event was a great stepping stone for all of the children involved, many of whom got their first taste of a regional competition!
