Day 1 of the England Athletics Senior, U20 and Para Championships got underway with spots on the U20 European Champs team up for grabs.

On a recent visit to Cheltenham & County Harriers, we caught up with three coaches to discover more about the success of the club and what they enjoy most about coaching.

The England Athletics Senior and U20 Championships - powered by Citroën - take place at the Alexander Stadium, Birmingham from 25 to 27 August. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Scott Lincoln and Innes Fitzgerald headline a host of top names due to appear as we return to Birmingham for the first championships of the England Athletics summer series. Many of the senior athletes are honing their preparations for the British Athletics Championships at the same venue a week later. Meanwhile, the top juniors will have an eye on international selection as the event doubles as the trial for the European Athletics U20 Championships in Tampere on 7-10 August. Some of the successful British team from the European Athletics Under 23 Championships last week will be in action.

England Athletics is pleased to announce that four strong junior mountain running teams will compete against the Home Countries at the British and Irish Junior Mountain Championships.  Hosted in turn by each of the participating countries, this year’s event returns to Wales on 13 September. For the U20 athletes, the race is 6.9km with 303m ascent/descent, and the U17 athletes race over 6.4km with 265m ascent/descent.

This year's Snowdon International Mountain Race took place on 19 July and was held in surprisingly good conditions considering the recent heat wave and the weather warnings being issued. Either way it wouldn’t have stopped over 400 runners setting off from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon mountain - an ascent of nearly 1000m - on a 16km out and back route.

Today marks exactly 1 year to go until the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow! We asked some of the athletes their favourite memories.

On behalf of everyone at England Athletics I would like to wish all those competing in this summer’s England Athletics outdoor track and field championship programme the very best of success and enjoyment. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our hard-working volunteer Technical Officials and Event Staff, without whom this event programme would not take place and to whom we are deeply grateful for their commitment, focus, and dedication. I would like to also thank our host venues, particularly Birmingham Alexander Stadium but also partners at the Manchester Athletics Arena.

The 14th Mountain Running Senior Home International 2025 will be incorporated into the British Athletics World Mountain and Trail Running Championships Trial. Since it is also a trial for the Great Britain team, it will include the very best mountain runners from the UK. So we’ve selected strong teams. England have been very successful in the past - having had 12 Individual winners, on top of that the women have won the team title 11 times and the men have won the team title 10 times.

England Athletics is delighted to share details of its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will be held in Sutton Coldfield on Saturday 29 November.

Cheltenham & County Harriers are an athletics club based in the South West looking to build on their recent success at both an individual and club level. The club are currently on seven out of seven for Club Standards, which provides a great platform for this progress. We recently visited the club and caught up with their chair, Crispian Webb, to find out more about the factors contributing to this success and their vision for the future.
