Athletics Track at Active Blackpool

Of course we love running on the treadmills in our gyms, especially when it’s raining, but sometimes there is no replacement for feeling the ground beneath your feet.

Whether you’re an experienced runner or are looking to start, then our 400m athletics track at Blackpool Sports Centre could be for you.

Never used our Athletics Track before?

Here’s a little information that you might want to know before you do.

Of course, it’s for everyone!

If you are a complete beginner just looking to take your first strides, then the safety of the Athletics Track is the perfect place to start.

If you’re an experienced runner wanting to hone your skills and escape the traffic, then why not try our Athletics Track track.

The track is also home to Long Jump and Triple Jump pits if you want to take a leap or two.  Sandpit rakes are available to use, just ask for them at reception.

We have a Throwing Cage, but we ask that you only use it if you are competent in the activity.  You will have to bring your own equipment with you for this.

There are also High Jump and Pole Vault beds, but these items are only available for club use and athletics events.

The track is open at all times when the centre is, it’s even flood lit so you can use it safely when it gets dark.

We do have a couple of private bookings and occasional events on the track when it won’t be available for public use, so it’s best to check the timetable on the Active Blackpool App before you visit.

You’ll access the track though the building so we can keep the track secure. When you arrive, make sure you stop at reception to check in so we know that you’re out there!
