England Athletics Club of the Year Awards
Posted on: May 6, 2026 by Ian Boyle Share this postCourtesy of @englandathletics – Athletics and running happens because of the dedication and passion of our incredible volunteers. From club committees and coaches to officials and event helpers, their commitment keeps our sport thriving in communities across the country.
The Regional Volunteer Awards, delivered in partnership with our Regional Councils, are our way of saying thank you. They shine a spotlight on the individuals and clubs who go above and beyond, celebrating the outstanding contribution volunteers make to athletics and running at every level.
Why nominate?
Volunteers are the heart of athletics and running. Saying “thank you” can be incredibly powerful. Over the years, we’ve seen just how much it means to volunteers and their families when their commitment is acknowledged. These awards offer a meaningful way to show appreciation for the people who make a real difference in clubs, communities, schools, and events across the country.
Our sport simply wouldn’t thrive without them. That’s why we encourage you to work alongside your club colleagues to submit a nomination and celebrate worthy volunteers – whether that’s a friend, family member, student, colleague, clubmate, or someone who always goes the extra mile.
Highlight their hard work. Celebrate their dedication. Help us recognise the volunteers who make athletics and running possible.
The closing date for nominations is Friday 5 June 2026.
Awards include:
- Club of the Year.
- Unsung Hero of the Year.
- Unsung Project of the Year.
- Services to Athletics & Running.
