A CAMPAIGN to create a dedicated athletics track in Lichfield has been officially launched.

Organisers Run Lichfield said such a facility would benefit competitive athletes along with schools, grassroots clubs and community members.

A petition has also been launched in a bid to boost the chances of getting a track in the city.

Spokesperson Dan Floyd said:

> “This is about more than running – it’s about opportunity, health and giving people of all ages a space to be active, to connect, and to thrive.  
>  
> “The response we’ve seen already shows just how much this means to the community.”

Dan said the long-term vision was to secure funding and work to deliver a “high-quality, inclusive athletics facility for Lichfield and the surrounding area”.

He added:

> “This is just the beginning. We’ve shown what’s possible when a community comes together. Now it’s about turning that energy into real, lasting change.”

The petition is available [online](https://www.change.org/RunLichfield?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
