Eastbourne Rovers Athletes adapt their training during the pandemic

Eastbourne Rovers athletes are so disappointed to see the summer disappearing with no athletic competitions. By now the track and field athletes would have had league matches, the Sussex championships, some Southern area Championships as well as school events for the younger age groups. The Road runners would also have had the London Marathon as well as half marathons and other local road races.
