EventsThe majority of athletics events in Hampshire are organised by member clubs, either on their own behalf or as part of a national or regional league. Summary details of recent and forthcoming events are shown in the Event Calendar. Hampshire AA is mainly responsible for organising county championships and other competitions: Track and FieldIn common with other county associations, Hampshire AA usually holds its Track and Field Championships on the second weekend in May, when approximately 700 athletes compete at the Mountbatten Centre, Portsmouth on two full days of athletics. Entry forms are available on this website from January. The closing date is in late April to allow time for the timetable of events, which depends on the numbers of entries received, to be finalised. The Multi-Events Championships are held on May Day Bank Holiday Monday. Athletes each compete in five track and field disciplines accumulating points according to their performances. On the same day, nine- and ten-year-old athletes have a chance to take part in an Under 11 Athletics event. Cross-CountryThe Hampshire Cross-Country Championships are held on the first Saturday in January. Entry forms are available from late September or October and should be returned by mid-December. The Hampshire Cross-Country League comprises five matches between October and February in Hampshire and just over the border in neighbouring counties. SportshallThe Hampshire Sportshall League comprises three matches held in November, December and January at various venues around the county. The season finishes with the Sportshall Championships which are held in March. Road RunningThe Hampshire Road Race League runs from September to June and comprises ten races selected by the competing clubs at their annual meeting. The county Road Running Championships are incorporated into races selected from the road running calendar each year.
