“While the IAAF World Athletics Championships may be taking part on the other side of the world the CBBC Summer Sportarama gives young people a fantastic opportunity to experience the excitement of the competition right here in the North West. There are races and other activities on our outdoor track, crafting with our very own Art Ninja and a chance for children to have a go at becoming the next presenter of CBBC’s new sports show Kickabout Plus.
