Coinciding with the 10th Anniversary, Special Olympics Suffolk hosted their annual Regional Athletics Competition at Bury St Edmunds on Sunday 29th September. Teams travelled from the Bradford, Keighley and Skipton club in Yorkshire, Worcestershire in the West Midlands, North London, St Albans and neighbouring Norfolk to compete against our own Special Olympics Suffolk athletes.

Over 70 athletes in total competed in a range of running, jumping and throwing events. Athletes are now back to their best after the disruption caused by Covid 19 with many setting personal best performances

All this would not have been possible without the support of the many qualified athletics officials who generously gave of their time and expertise so a BIG THANKS to all OFFICIALS. On the same note a THANK YOU also to the many VOLUNTEERS who helped both before and on the day
