Jumps and Throws
Although Newmarket Joggers compete mostly in running and walking events, there are some competitions which include the jumps and throws elements.
Coaching is available for both short and long throws (shot and javelin) every week during the summer season. Hammer and discus coaching is available by prior arrangement, please speak to any member of coaching staff if you are interested.
Competition opportunities for field events are broadly the same as those listed for track. However there are a few throws-specific competitions held throughout the year such as the BMAF Winter Throws Championships. For a full list please consult England Athletics’ list of licensed competitions.
