Meet Info:

​Following confirmation that the track resurfacing at Bedford will still NOT be done in 2025 we would now like to confirm that BIG 2025 will be held at  Chelmsford Athletics Track, CM1 2EH.  We would like to thank them for agreeing to host us and look forward to celebrating our 31st BIGish event there.  

 

The meeting will provide another brilliant competition opportunity for the European U23 & U20 Championships along with the World Championships and the World Universities. We will be running High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Shot, Discus, Hammer and Javelin competitions as well a Pole Vault for the first time in many years.  There will be multiple competitions in all events.   More details will be available very soon.

​

Standards will be set and on-line entry will open on Monday April 14th.   Throws Athletes on the UKA U20 Long List will be catered for by allowing them to throw their appropriate implements - NB all other Throwers will have to throw with Senior implements unless this has been agreed with the organisers prior to the day.    Entries will close at 07.00 on Monday 19th May or when events are full, whichever is the earliest.   Reserve lists will be run if an event is full.
