Tuam is set to have an Olympic standard eight-lane 100 metre track that will serve athletes of all ages in the town and surrounding areas as well as the town’s school-going population. The facility will also feature a Long Jump area, a High Jump, Javelin a Shot areas
The facility is earmarked for a green area on the grounds of Scoil Bhríde Mercy Secondary School, next to where a new all-weather sports pitch has been recently completed.
Scoil Bhríde and Tuam Athletics Club have made a joint application for funding for the track to the Sports Capital Grant Scheme.
Pierce O’Callaghan, of Tuam AC and Chairman of We Are Tuam Community Sports Facility group said:
“This partnership announcement with the Mercy is such a welcome development after a number of years of frustration to procure suitable land to build this much needed facility in Tuam.”
“The Athletics Club is thriving with new members who desperately need somewhere to train and this track will now ensure the 1200 school kids of the town as well as surrounding areas have a facility to train and compete on.”
