Only athletes qualified to compete for the Norwich Union Great Britain and Northern Ireland Team will be able to take part in this summer’s Norwich Union World Trials and UK Championships to be staged at the Manchester Regional Arena in July.

The news follows the decision to extend the Trials to three sessions – on Friday 27, Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 July – because organisers at UK Athletics and meeting promoters Fast Track are encouraged by the rising number of UK athletes who have competed during the last few years.

Entry procedure will be by invitation with letters being dispatched on June 18. For the entry standards please click here.
