  • Guidance for Athletes & Runners
    A RETURN TO RESTRICTED TRAINING ACTIVITY AND ABILITY TO ACCESS TRACK VENUES – ATHLETICS AND RUNNING GUIDANCE FOR ATHLETES & RUNNERS Step 3: updated 23rd September 2020 This guidance might be updated in due course Introduction This guidance document has been developed in adherence with government guidelines as outlined by the government on 22nd September 2020 and can be put in place immediately unless otherwise stated. England Athletics guidance will be updated as per government guidelines when they are made available or as soon as possible thereafter. These guidelines apply to England only. More details are available here. We recommend that you stay up to date with government guidance at all times. Government guidance supersedes all advice given by the governing body and must be followed at all times. The safety and wellbeing of all athletes, runners, coaches, and the wider community is at the heart of any guidance that England Athletics is distributing. The guidance that follows provides sport specific advice to help athletes and runners. It is important to say that any return to activity must take account of local conditions and any risk assessment for normal activities should be undertaken as well as ensuring that all government guidance around COVID-19 is considered. It is the responsibility of each athlete, runner, coach, and facility to make that assessment based on their local environment. Risk assessment must consider mitigations and plans for when activities do not go as expected. Planning scenarios around, for example, an injury occurring to an athlete and the need to support that athlete while social distancing should be undertaken.

  • Annual Report and Accounts 2019 President’S Contents Report
    Annual Report and Accounts 2019 President’s Contents Report his, my final report as President covers the Commonwealth Games, European Track and Field Championships, WPA European TChampionships and European Indoor Track and Field Championships. Over my eight years as President the sport has evolved. We have moved from a few athletes being selected into GB & NI teams to Scottish athletes now making up 20% of these teams. Scottish athletes are making history - Laura Muir’s double-double at the European Indoor Championships and athletes in a variety of events and disciplines are winning medals at all major Championships. This is, I believe, a consequence of our club structure becoming more professional, our coaching structure and a home Olympic and Commonwealth Games. As a sport we continue to build a culture of success and with the right support our athletes can be truly world class. The highlight of the year undoubtedly is the Commonwealth Games when athletes from Scotland had the opportunity to compete in the national vest on a global stage. Scotland equalled the best away games with five medals which was a fantastic return and congratulations to those athletes, their coaches and clubs. We also had our best ever European Championships in Berlin with five medals, this was backed up by a tremendous medal haul of seven medals from seven athletes at the WPA European Championships also in Berlin, then a further five medals at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow. This coupled with success in cross President’s Report 2 country, the roads and the mountains has meant that 2018/19 has been our most successful year for the Annual Review 4 sport in Scotland.
