All standards must be achieved between 1 January, in the calendar year beforehand, and the last Sunday prior to the Championships.

The current list of invitees can be viewed on this website through www.ukathletics.net/uka-major-events/sheffield, if you are not included in the listing and think you have qualified then please contact us. Many athletes may have qualified for more than one event and if you wish to switch events then please communicate your request to us as soon as possible.

These Championships are the pinnacle of the domestic calendar and will give the opportunity to compete alongside some of the countries best athletes as well as good grounding for the future progression of an athlete.
