The Stuart Storey Athletics Track History
|
Stuart Storey has always been passionate about athletics. So, when Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre was being developed, Stuart was determined to ensure that Ware acquired a first class athletics facility to encourage and promote track and field events.
The Stuart Storey Athletics Track was opened by Sebastian Coe (now Lord Coe) in July 1996.

Our athletic track and field facilities are used extensively by local schools and colleges for training and competition.
The Stuart Storey Athletics Track is also the ‘home track’ of the Herts Phoenix Athletic Club, and regularly hosts County-standard athletics meetings.
