Athletics

Athletics is one of the most inclusive sports in the world and the foundation of all sports, it has been part of the Olympics and Paralympics since they first began.

The School Games has a rich history in athletics, having seen several world-class athletes pass through its competitions, including Paralympic superstars Jonnie Peacock and Hannah Cockcroft, as well as Olympians Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Dina Asher-Smith. There is every chance you could be seeing the next rising star at Loughborough University this summer.

The sport of athletics provides a combination of running, pushing, jumping and throwing competitive events, designed to test everyone to their maximum potential.

The School Games National Finals provides a unique opportunity which brings the top young athletes from around the UK to compete as part of a series of All-Stars Team.
