UK Athletics has confirmed the team of marathon athletes representing Novuna Great Britain and Northern Ireland (GB & NI) at the 2026 European Championships in Birmingham.

The Novuna Great Britain & Northern Ireland mixed 4x400m relay team earned bronze and a spot at the World Ultimate Championships on the final day of World Relays action in Botswana.

England fly-half Zoe Harrison says the introduction of smaller balls for this autumn's WXV Global Series is "the worst decision someone has ever made".

Old Town Square witnessed new marathon champions, after the 31st edition of the Vodafone Marathon Prague was completed fastest by the Ethiopian athlete Wendemu Tsegu Berehanu, who crossed the finish line in an excellent time of 02:05:51.

The Novuna GB & NI Team made a statement of intent on day one of the 2026 World Relays in Gaborone, clocking world leading times in both the mixed 4x400m relay and the women’s 4x400m relay heats.

Birmingham City and Crystal Palace have both been promoted to the Women's Super League after a dramatic final day in the second tier saw Charlton slip into the play-off spot, with top tier expanding from 12 to 14 teams from the 2026-27 season.
