Open athletics is an organisation for the promotion and development of LGBT athletics in the broadest sense - including track and field, fell and trail running, and race walking.

Their aim is to be a forum and a network of individual LGBT athletes, groups and clubs across the UK - in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Lancaster and Brighton.

Their broader objectives are to encourage open and active participation of LGBT community in the sporting world and in the wider community and to remove homophobic barriers, contributing to individual sport development and to the development of communities through sport.

They welcome anybody who wants to join our forum - irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, or athletic ability who loves athletics or subscribes to their values.
