Street Athletics gets into top gear!

Today see's Street Athletics get into full swing as the events begin to take off today in Hounslow. Here at 5or6 we feel a special connection to Street Athletics as we have been involved in the event for the last 3 years, and so wish everyone involved the best of luck!

Hitting the Streets of England...

This years Street Athletics has begun, with the first event taking place in Kings Lynn at the beginning of March, with the rest being contested from the end of June, and once again we have been commissioned to design and develop the Street Athletics website and today it went live!

The new site is build on a blog format with build it social networking integration to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. The new site went live at www.streetathletics.co.uk

Busy, Busy, Busy

We certainly have a packed couple of weeks of work, with so much going to print, as well as a few longer term projects finishing for the year.

First off Ilkeston play Gloucester this weekend at the New Manor Ground, which means we are putting together the match day programme. Currently Ilkeston are sitting sixth in Conference North, eight places ahead of their opponents on Saturday. However Ilkeston are flying after a 4 - 1 FA Cup victory at the weekend over Mildenhall Town. Then next Tuesday, Championship side Derby are coming to the new manor ground for a friendly, which will certainly draw the crowds, and large sales of our match day programmes (fingers crossed)!

Secondly this weekend saw this years final of Street Athletics. All the results for the final are up on line now with pictures of the events to follow later this week. It has been an amazing year for Street Athletics with some incredible events, some amazingly talented athletes on display and of course a fantastic website (by 5or6 if you didn’t get the hint).

And last yet certainly not least, it is going to be a very busy few weeks for all the Estonian national football sides, as their international fixtures list is nearly as long as our 'to do' list! There are fixtures for the U-17's sides all the way up to the full national side. Its an incredible honour to be selected to represent a country, which is why we are still over the moon to be able to produce the match day programmes for all these fixtures (yet I'm not too sure how we will feel at the end of the week, I'm sure there will be some very late nights in there!).

Street Athletics Final Weekend

This Sunday Albert Square in Manchester is to host the final of Street Athletics, the amazing sports anitactive set up by Darren Campbell and Linford Christie. The final will see children ranging from under 13's up to under 20's competing to win gold, a years supply of Nike training equipment and mentoring from Darren and Linford themselves. Here at 5or6 we wish everyone the best of luck, and hope that the weekend goes well for everyone.

Running out of Time

Street Athletics is coming to an end... However it will be back next year! Street Athletics is an event run by British Olympic legends Linford Christie and Darren Campbell, and does exactly what is says on the tin, it is an athletics event held on the street. It is designed to give inner city children the chance to compete in an organised athletics event and to encourage them into getting into more sport. The event has been running since 2006, yet and we were comisioned to produce the website, along with the branding from 2008, and we did the same this year... we just made it bigger and better! For more information on how to get involved next year visit the site, or go to nuff-respect.co.uk.

The finals for Street Athletics are to be held in Manchester on Saturday the 26th of September, so get down there and support tommorows sporting stars.
