AAA Championships

The 1987 AAA Championships sponsored by (Kodak) was the 1987 edition of the annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA). It was held from 1 to 2 August 1987 at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London, England.[1][2]

Summary

The Championships covered two days of competition and was the last time that men's only events were held because from 1988 the WAAA Championships would merge with the AAA Championships.

The 1987 London Marathon determined the marathon AAA champion.

The decathlon was held in Stoke-on-Trent from 30 to 31 May 1987.
