The U20 athletes looked to secure qualifying marks for the upcoming European Championships on day 2 at the England Senior, U20 Championships.

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

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.

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.

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.

Last week, some of the best young athletes from across the country travelled to Alexander Stadium, Birmingham to compete in the 2025 English School Track and Field Championships. To enable the athletes to perform at their best, each team has a handful of Team Managers available to support the athletes.

This year’s Masters International 10k was staged within the AJ Bell Great North event up in Newcastle with the famous Tyne Bridge as a backdrop. With the addition of both Northern Ireland and the UK Armed Forces, together with traditional rivals Wales, this was the most expansive masters international road race since the inception of the programme several years ago.
