About The Foundation

The Foundation will hope to support ‘Hurdles’ at all levels, from assisting with the supply of equipment, to helping athletes interested in hurdling being linked with suitable coaches, if they do not have one, to helping current hurdles coaches, and athletes, to develop further.

💥BLCF Hurdles Fest - Monday 29 May - Ashton Playing Fields, Woodford Green 💥We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! The weather forecast looks good, so keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way, so we get lots of good times, and especially qualifying times ⏱We are not charging spectators entry to the Hurdles Fest, as we know how much travel costs are for athletes, and parents, to just get to the competitions, let alone training. But if you would like to make a donation, however small, as we are a registered charity, it would be very gratefully received to help us to continue our support of hurdles development.We will also have the services available of a masseur and a physio, throughout the event, should you require this. Your race number will get you treatment. ...
