JOIN ME this Tuesday February 15th when Kevin Tyler, Mike Hurst, and myself will host a Zoom Webinar on everything 400 meters. There is no cost, and it will be recorded for those who can’t make it.
Connecting this global initiative was a challenge, with Mike in Australia, Kevin in the USA, and myself in London England.

I know the timings aren’t good for the Americas, but if this discussion or webinar is successful, I promise we’ll have more. We’re going live at 9am UK time, 10am Europe (CEST), and 8pm Australia (AEST).
