Are you a club coach or school teacher looking to develop your knowledge and practical delivery of the 4x100m relay?

We are delighted to host a specialist 2-hour workshop with Karen Kirk, an Athletics Northern Ireland Level 3 Sprints Coach and a key member of the Athletics Ireland Relay Programme. Karen has played an integral role in the development of Ireland’s sprint relay athletes, contributing to a structured national approach that has supported relay teams competing successfully at major international championships. Her work combines technical precision, athlete development, and performance-focused relay strategy.

This workshop is designed specifically for coaches and teachers who want to:

  • Understand the technical and tactical demands of the 4x100m relay
  • Develop effective changeover techniques and acceleration patterns
  • Learn proven drills used within high-performance relay environments
  • Improve athlete positioning, outgoing timing, and baton efficiency
  • Apply session design principles directly within school and club settings

The session will include:

  • Clear classroom-based theory on relay mechanics and strategy
  • Extensive practical track-based delivery
  • Demonstrations, drills, and coached practice
  • Opportunities to ask questions and problem-solve real coaching scenarios

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with practical tools and structured progressions that you can immediately implement in your own coaching environment.

Time: 12:00 - 14:00

Cost: £20 per coach

Venue: Mary Peters Track, BT9 5PR
