Police Sport UK Athletics Section - Race Walk Championships 2022

Once you have entered you will receive further information from the host organisers. This is a large event and thus there is too much information for me to provide you so you will need to ensure you find all the information you need by using the main event guide link above.

Venue: The Athletes’ Village and Start Access Area are a short walk away from our recommended tram stop, Old Trafford, which is on the Altrincham line. If travelling on the red line (The Trafford Centre line) please use the Imperial War Museum station.

Please do not arrive at the following tram stations as you will not be able to cross the running route: Wharfside Way, Exchange Quay or Pomona.

Prices and further information are available from the official Metrolink website: https://tfgm.com/public-transport/tram

Those coming by car can also park for free at Event City, located close to The Trafford Centre, thanks to the Peel L&P Park and Ride. From here you can either get the Metrolink (line is in service from 7am) or jump on one of the regular shuttle buses to Trafford Wharf Road. Once dropped off it is around a 25-minute walk to the Athletes’ Village. You will also be able to catch a return shuttle bus from Trafford Wharf Road after the event (last return bus at 17:30).

Those who wish to drive directly to the event can pre-book a £10 parking space at Manchester United FC. Please note that this is likely to hit capacity quickly, so please act quickly if using this method and allow time for traffic queueing for the car parks. No parking will be available if not booked in advance.
