Training in Heslington

A campus village, built for sport.

Heslington's training is shaped by the University of York. York Sport runs a sports centre and an athletics track on campus, with gym membership and pay-and-play sessions, while futsal, capoeira classes and Team Jorvik's swimmers use the university's spaces. Off campus there's David Lloyd York, and Fulford Golf Club with its practice range.

The campus lake on Campus West is the largest plastic-bottomed lake in Europe, and Walmgate Stray stretches between the university and Fulford. Term-time timetables shift a lot, so a training partner on the same rhythm is worth finding.
