GOING ON TOUR
In 2025 we identified a lack of good level competitions, particularly in High Jump and Long Jump. So we decided to do something about it and we are pleased to announce that, with support from England Athletics, we are able to run a Pilot scheme, High Jump & Long Jump only this year, a series of 6 competitions across various tracks in England and culminating in a Final at Bedford on August 29th. We will work with the new age groups and provide competition for U16, U18. U20, Senior and Para athletes looking to gain qualification marks for major Championships or simply to improve their PB's. Standards will be released soon. NB. Top Officials, an athlete-friendly environment and full technological support are guaranteed.
A Level 2 UKA and World Athletics Permit have been applied for.
More details will follow shortly but look out for the social media launch and come back here further details in the very near future.
