Introduction to the League

The Avon Track and Field League was set up in 1984 to provide locally-based Track and Field competition for clubs in or around the Bristol / Gloucester area. The number of participating clubs has varied over the years. The organisation is not connected with the Avon Athletic Association (there's no rivalry: we just carry out different functions in the sport).

There are four fixtures each season, scheduled if possible to avoid the other League fixtures to which member clubs are commited. There are events for all age groups including Under-13s and Masters, with a Quadkids competition for Under-11s. The League operates two alternating timetables.

CANCELLATION OF LEAGUE FOR 2020: With Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2020 League already cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the member clubs agreed in mid-June that there were too many issues over Social Distancing, potential shortage of officials, and other factors, for the remaining meetings to go ahead as we would like, so have agreed that the whole season should be abandoned.
