Track & Field Meetings for end of July, all August and first half of September

It's usually a quite couple of months or so, for track and field meetings, unless you're good enough for the Commonwealth Games or European Championships! As it's school holidays the number of younger athletes competing drops significantly, but there are some interesting meetings in the next 6 or so weeks. I have looked for all events within 2.25 hours travel time, which I know is a long time so I have included the more local (based on time) first.

NB please check all the age restrictions for events when entering.

Here's a calendar to help you plan:
