About England Athletics
England Athletics develops grassroots athletics and running in England, supporting affiliated clubs to prosper, developing more and better coaches, recruiting and supporting volunteers and officials. England Athletics provides and supports competition opportunities at an international (England representative), national, area and county level. England Athletics also delivers campaigns and products to inspire and provide opportunities for people in England to start running. These include RUN:EA, an individual running membership, and RunTogether, a national recreational group-based running product.
England Athletics have supported Team England athletes on their pathway to the 2026 Commonwealth Games, so spokespeople from England Athletics will be available to speak to media during the Games. Members of the media can contact the England Athletics press office at press@englandathletics.org.
Athlete enquiries at the Commonwealth Games will be handled by Team England directly - you can contact them via pressoffice@teamengland.org.
UK Athletics (UKA) is the overarching national governing body responsible for elite performance, international representation (e.g., Great Britain and Northern Ireland teams), and establishing the overarching rules for the sport across the UK. You can contact UKA via their Media Centre here.
