Similar to last year’s Championships the day will be split with the morning seeing only Junior Age Group athletes; a mid day session seeing all age groups and during the afternoon Intermediate and Senior Age Group athletes. The latter two groups seeing age groups compete alongside each other.

This year sees the sport transition into an ‘even age group’ format but English Schools AA have concluded that full implementation to even age groups will not be until 2027. Thus this championships will be organised on the historical ‘odd age groups’ with the exception of hurdle events which will use the ‘new’ event age group specifications.

The exact timetable cannot be constructed until entries close at noon on Wednesday 3rd June.

Therefore please return to this page for additional and/or updated information.

"It is required that all teachers, team managers and all other adults involved in team selection are aware of the specifications being used in the events they are selecting athletes for and that all athletes are aware of the specifications and required to be suitably practiced in the events they will be participating in, especially the new specification hurdles which align with the UKA Rules for Competition(April 1st 2026) and the throws which lay outside of the current UKA Rules of Competition and align with the current ESAA Track & Field Championship Rules."

Athletes are advised to arrive AT LEAST one hour before their event so as to meet their team manager and collect numbers before warming up, etc.

Traditionally the Area team bases are located:

Mendip - beside the 100m start

Taunton - on the bank looking down the track above the 100m start

Yeovil - along the stepped terrace from Yeovil

Sedgemoor - further along the terrace opposite the water jump

The forecast is dry, warm (200) with a light breeze.
