More than 1000 youngsters got the opportunity to compete at the 1st Abuja City Kids and Youth Athletics Classics, which was held at the Training Pitch of the Abuja National Stadium between June 20 to 21 (Saturday and Sunday), with their parents at hand to lend some support to the future stars.

The children, whose ages ranged between 8 and 17 years, could not hide their excitement at the prospect of rubbing shoulders with their peers, while some of them were provided with a chance of learning the rudiments of the sport, such as the use of running spikes and starting blocks.
