AW has been the bible of the sport since the 1940s and is still the No.1 choice for the true running and athletics fan, designed to keep you informed about all the best news, comment, event reports and results from Britain and around the world. In the summer AW offers the very best in-depth coverage of the track and field season focusing not only on the major championships, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championships, but also the best in schools and grassroots club athletics.

Alongside our unrivalled coverage of all the top events, AW also offers a sharp and detailed news service focusing on elite and up-and-coming athletes and the issues which rage within the sport. We provide all the important fixtures as well as the most comprehensive service of results from around Britain and the rest of the world.
