The sport is showing healthy club membership figures
MARK SHEARMAN
UK ATHLETICS and the home country athletics federations announced record athletics participation figures this week as they launched a 10-year plan to make athletics the No.1 individual sport in the country.
The governing body says the total number of people committing to athletics as members of clubs has increased dramatically in recent years with a 49% UK total growth in membership of athletics clubs between 2008 and 2015.
