Widely recognised as the curtain raiser to the outdoor season, this is an action-packed day of first-class athletics hosted at the Paula Radcliffe Stadium on campus. Loughborough athletes will compete against teams representing England, Wales, Scotland, Great Britain and Northern Ireland Under 20s and the National Athletics League.
We’re delighted that British sporting icon Katarina Johnson-Thompson has confirmed her place at the event and will compete in the hurdles, shot put and 4x400m relay. This year will also see Loughborough Sport welcome Ukraine international Danylo Danylenko who will compete in the 400m.
