The Watford Grand Prix is set to feature some of the country’s best 800m, 1500m and 5000m runners. And now a Challenger event on the World Athletics Continental tour expect an international flavour to the athletes on show at Woodside Athletics Stadium.
Watford is the second leg of the British Milers Club (BMC) Grand Prix season which starts in May at Sportcity, Manchester, and includes meetings in Loughborough University and Birmingham University ahead of the fifth and final leg Bury, Manchester on 10 August.
