Training in Craigavon

A 50 m pool, a lakeside gym and paths with no traffic.

South Lake Leisure Centre is the anchor: the council's 50 m pool, a gym overlooking Craigavon Lakes and a cycle studio, with kayak and paddleboard hire at the watersports centre next door. PureGym Craigavon covers open-access lifting, Youfit and Key to Fitness offer coaching, and Craigavon City Amateur Boxing Club, Lurgan Lakers Basketball Club and Airtastic's trampoline and ninja course fill out the mix.

The town was built with a network of paths that let you cross it without meeting traffic, and National Cycle Network Route 9 passes through. The park around the two lakes has woodland trails, and Citypark parkrun is a free 5k, so a weekend run with a training partner is easy to arrange.
