This is the first PSUK Athletics event of the year that will hopefully kick-start you into taking part in the many other police fixtures during 2014. The event will take place at Harthill, Tattenhall, Cheshire.

The Ladies race will be over 4 miles (2 laps) commencing at 1. 00pm and the men’s race over 6 miles (3 laps) and will commence at 2-00pm.

The course is hilly crossing fields with a short section through woods on each lap and is an excellent spectator course.

This event is incorporated within at an event Wyre Forrest, Bewdley, Worcestershire. It is a forest area with a good network of paths and tracks and provides fast running underfoot. There are some intricate areas of gorse and some slow run areas where careful navigation is required.

There are courses for male, female, veteran and novice runners. These range from circa 5k to 8k in distance. So if you fancy some 'cunning running' in some very picturesque Worcestershire countryside then get yourself entered!

This is the first time the PSUK have held their marathon in Milton Keynes. This is a 26.2 mile city marathon with a difference. With 4,500 acres of woodlands, lakesides, parks and landscaped areas within the city boundary, Milton Keynes is the ideal venue for a Green Marathon.

The course is traffic free on closed roads and cycle paths or “redways” as they are known locally, the course is gently undulating with no significant incline providing real PB potential.

This will be a qualification event for the USPE Marathon event to be held in Austria October 2014.

 PSUK Tug of War Championships – Metropolitan Police - Wednesday 11 June 2014

Held on the same day as the Track & Field, teams of nine will battle it out in a series of different weight competitions held throughout the day. The PSUK are looking to encourage more force teams to take part. Athletes are asked to contact members of their respective force rugby teams to attract interest. 

The Cheviot 2000 Team Fell Race is an annual event open to serving members of the UK police, armed forces and other emergency services. It is organised by members of the Northumbria Police 'Chaos Club'.

The course is circular, of 23 miles distance, and takes in all mountain peaks over 2000 feet located in the Northumberland National Park, England, UK. Teams of three run together over some of England's lesser known but equally stunning fells.

This event requires four members running together as a team, each member providing encouragement to one another over this gruelling 22 mile course that traverses around 8000 feet ascent over seven of the highest Snowdonia Mountains. This is not an official PSUK event but has always been popular among police runners.

This event is always popular with PSUK runners. The details of the event have not been released but we are sure the hosts will provide us with and interesting course and excellent post race hospitality.

This is a fairly flat tarmac course around Canon Hill Park, Edgbaston comprising 5K for ladies and 10k for men. More runners are taking to this ‘alternative’ athletic sport as a supplement to their annual sporting calendar.

An interesting and tasty buffet meal at the nearby ‘Tally Ho Club’ follows the race with presentation of prizes for individual and teams.
