Blackrock Athletic Club is delighted to launch an inter-club Family initiative, “Blackrock’s Fittest Family Virtual Challenge”.
The aim is to get club members and their families to participate in the event for the month of January, as we continue to provide opportunities for our athletes to stay fit and healthy during these challenging times. We have included a range of family-friendly challenges and also a few runs to test your fitness and shake off the cobwebs after the Xmas festivities. This Initiative is subject to the current Government Guidelines in place and please feel free to clarify any competition queries with the Lead Coach in your child’s age group.
The competition is open now and results can be submitted via our Google form on or before Jan 31st.
Who can come up with the most creative team name?
Who has the fittest grandparent?
Can you beat your Coaches score(s)?
The challenge has begun……..
