England Athletics: Coronavirus Statement (26th May)

Update: 26 May

As per our update below dated 15 May, current guidance from England Athletics is following the government’s guidelines as they are rolled out.  It is a very fluid situation and we can confirm that our previously stated deadline of 31 May as the deadline for the suspension of all athletics activity in England is now no longer valid.  However, the only permitted activity is stated under our latest guidance update (for a restricted return to training). This will remain the case until we are able to update the guidance further based on any new announcements from UK government. As soon as the situation changes, we will of course confirm this across all our communication channels. The separate suspension of competitions activity, currently to 30 June 2020, remains in place.  Please see below for our guidance documents for athletes and runners, coaches and leaders and athletic venues.
