It has been a wonderful summer of athletics and running, with some outstanding performances from English athletes on the biggest stage of all – in Paris at the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. However, we have also witnessed some fantastic achievements from the emerging young stars in our sport at an international and national level, in events held in the UK and further afield.
