Loughborough International Athletics
Loughborough International Athletics will take place on Sunday 18th May 2025
Loughborough University is proud to be hosting the Loughborough International Athletics (LIA) event on Sunday 18th May 2025.
LIA is widely recognised as the curtain raiser to the outdoor season with an action-packed day of first-class athletics hosted at the Paula Radcliffe Stadium on campus.
Once again, Loughborough athletes will compete against teams representing England, Wales, Scotland, GB&NI Under-20s and the National Athletics League.
This year we are also excited to welcome pupils from eight local primary schools who will be taking part in junior races on the day. This fantastic partnership celebrates the energy and enthusiasm of young athletes, giving them the chance to experience the thrill of racing on the same track as some of the country’s top talent.
The event will offer a great day out, where friends, families and athletics fans alike can enjoy an event full of action-packed fun and excitement.
The draft timetable is here: Timetable and Start Lists. Start lists will be added from Wednesday 14th May.
