Competitions
Athletes from Bradford regularly take part in local, regional, national and international competitions mostly through the Special Olympics movement.
Here you will find results of previous competitions as well as information on the up and coming competitions athletes from the Bradford District will be involved in.
Putting athletes into competitions is very costly. Our athletes do not get the same Lottery or Government funding to support them entering competitions as their non disabled peer get this means we need to fundraise to help achieve each athletes full potential. If you would like to support any of the competitions below or sponsor any of our athletes then please contact us here.
