Ten years ago a suggestion was made that it might be a good idea to try get women in Burton more active and involved in exercise. With support from the council, Washlands Women Runners was conceived - an idea which might appeal to ladies who did not want to join a gym or athletics club but who wanted to get fit. Little did they know what a success it would prove to be. In the following ten years, hundreds of women have joined the club and have achieved their own goals and aspirations, whether that is to run two miles every week or to complete a marathon. The success of the club is owed to each and everyone of those ladies who have entered Meadowside on a Wednesday evening. What is a credit is that thre is still a good group of founder members running with the club. Success has been achieved not only on a personal level but also for the club itself which has been presented with a number of awards culminating in the UK Athletics Club of the Year (West Midlands) in 2008. |
