West is best Canberra Sprint Coach, November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 Charnwood Oval in Belconnen has been a favourite training location for FAST Running. The 400m grass field, the only track of its size in West Belconnen, has a prevailing tailwind for the sprinters in much the same way as Australia’s fastest track, the AIS does. The home of Ginninderra Athletics Club, the field boasts two internal 100m straights and a full size certified 400m track. There is also a 40m synthetic run-up which is perfect for the squad’s jumpers. There is also starting blocks and other training equipment available to squads who use the facility on behalf of Ginninderra.
