HOW WE CAN HELP

Providing funds and incentives,
​
Running training and interactive sessions to give emerging athletes the skills and knowledge to progress,
​
Supporting coaching staff so they increase their knowledge,
​
Making Canterbury a supportive place to develop and achieve success in this running discipline.
Bill Richards Development Group
Clubs are invited to nominate athletes they believe could benefit from a closer association with the Trust to be part of the BRMT development group. The Trust will look to support these runners by offering them free entry to skills workshops aimed at helping them fulfil their long-distance aspirations.
The next workshop on offer is a nutrition one run in conjunction with the DGRS club on Thursday 1st of August. The Trust has agreed to pay for Canterbury Registered runners looking to improve their nutrition over longer distances.
Please visit the DGRS website to register.
​
On the 8th of September the Trust has gratefully accepted the offer by Caden Shields to hold a session on injury prevention. More details will follow soon.
