The 2025 indoor track season begins!
Come to Lee Valley Athletics Centre indoor track on Sunday 16th March and test your 1500m speed. This top level indoor venue has a 200m track (half of our usual 400m track) with banked bends which help you maximise your effort as if running in a straight line. With stands for spectators, warmup track and professional timing system, this event offers a great opportunity to set a Season’s Best or even a PB. And not only will it be a benchmark for your 1500m race time for the outdoor season to follow, but also an indicator of your 3k and 5k potential.
In order to compete you will need to fit your track spikes with with 6mm ‘Christmas Tree’ spikes (https://amzn.eu/d/atSEN1S); please note that officials are strict about this rule since regular track spikes (pyramid spikes) are not allowed as these would damage the track surface.
Comments from Ruben
"Having now competed for 2 years in a row, I can confirm this event has helped me develop my top speed/ closing speed, running form and speed endurance. For my first race I had zero expectations about my racing time apart from gaining experience and having my first ever 1500m time (and PB) on Power of 10 and then work towards improving it. I finished last on that day but was happy having given it a go. The following year I was way more confident and had gained some fitness so was able to improve on the finish time. I can confirm it has definitely been worth it and pivotal in discovering my ability towards shorter distances and passion for track races in general. I look forward to seeing you there on the 16th!"
