It is great to announce that Blackrock A.C. return to training this week, up to groups of 15 and runners must adhere to current HSE restrictions. Below are the plans and guidelines for our Fit4Life and Men’s sections return to training.
COVID 19 Requirements – Please Note
To attend training, you must complete the COVID form. These forms have been emailed by club captains/leaders. (Please email bacfit4life@gmail.com or bac.mens@gmail.com if you are new and would like to join)
You only need to do this once unless your health circumstances change. People also have to verbally say they are well when they arrive at training before they are allowed to train. If anyone is not feeling well in any way or injured you should not come to training.
