Track & Field Championships 2019

Hosted by Police Sport UK

Wednesday 21st August 2019

Lee Valley Leisure Complex, Meridian Way, Edmonton

London N9 0AR

Welcome to your competition information for the PSUK Track and Field Championships 2019.

In order to make the event a little bit different this year we have teamed up with the Civil Service Athletic Association (CSAA) to hold a combined event. In the hope that we can continue this wonderful event, we have taken the opportunity to co-host this event.

The Championships themselves will be run separately from the CSAA championships, but the track, officials and atmosphere will be shared.
